Sinikka Langeland: The Half-Finished Heaven
by Vic Albani
Esistono, lo sanno bene gli elfi piuttosto che gli umani, paradisi finiti a metà. Uno di questi lo racconta -grazie anche alle liriche di Tomas Tranströmer -nella sua quarta esperienza nei solchi di ECM la norvegese {Sinikka Langeland, regina del delicatissimo kantele, un'interessante variante del nordico dulcimer in stile cetra/arpa. L'altro è quello ormai certificato e ...
The half-finished heaven
by John Kelman
She may have debuted on ECM (and, consequently, far beyond the borders of her native Norway) with 2007's Starflowers, but Sinikka Langeland has, in fact, been around for more than two decades, with her first album, Langt Innpå Skoga, released on Norway's Grappa label in 1994. Composer, singer and master of the kantele—an antiquated Scandinavian dulcimer/zither ...
Arve Henriksen: The Nature of Connections
by John Kelman
Few artists could call an album The Nature of Connections with as much veracity as Norwegian trumpeter Arve Henriksen. There's been the myriad of collaborations on his own albums--just a small handful of the contributors to recordings including Places of Worship (Rune Grammofon, 2013), Cartography (ECM, 2008), Strjon (Rune Grammofon, 2007) and Chiaroscuro (Rune Grammofon, 2004) ...

Bobo Stenson Trio: Indicum
by John Kelman
With Cantando (ECM, 2008), Swedish pianist Bobo Stenson finally documented the significant renewal of his quarter-century trio with bassist Anders Jormin. The pair had been playing with Jon Fält since the departure of drummer Jon Christensen in the early 2000s. But if Fält was already touring with Stenson when Goodbye (ECM, 2005) was released, its curious--and ...

Sinikka Langeland: The Land That Is Not
by AAJ Italy Staff
Canterà pure in svedese e norvegese. Avrà pure il physiche du role della cantante folk anni '60 e la tempra ancien regime, ma Sinikka “Norvegian Wood" Langeland di sicuro suggestiona con le sue storie sospese nel tempo. Porta con sé tutto il fascino di suoni arcaici e immacolati che stregano già al primo ascolto. La sua ...
Sinikka Langeland: The Land That Is Not
by John Kelman
Four years after her relentlessly beautiful ECM debut, Sinikka Langeland returns with the equally breathtaking The Land That Is Not. Following Starflowers (2007), the Norwegian singer/kantele player took a detour with Maria's Song (ECM, 2009), an intimate recording of folk songs and compositions by J.S. Bach that expanded upon territory visited on Påsketona (Nordic Sound, 2004). ...
