The Knut Reiersrud Band and KORK (Norwegian Radio Orchestra) have had ?conversations with Dvorak and Beethoven?, resulting in an album titled 'A New World'. Selecting movements from Dvorak?s 9th ?New World? Symphony and Beethoven?s 7th Symphony, they have expanded both music and format dramatically. Now, when taking on a whole symphony orchestra, they are lifting the dynamics and sound qualities many notches higher, and no more daunting can it be than to take on symphonic works that are so important a part of European music history. With Dvorak?s work as the starting point, which is based on American folk music, they have built a bridge between two worlds that meet here anew.
Tracks:
