What did they say about the composer Gisle Kverndokk?
-
Andrea Martin for "Kulturaspekte"
“The music had a deep melancholy, as if the composer had looked directly into Ruth Maier's soul and set it to music."

Anne Midgette for "The Washington Post"
“… a bracing, scintillating score that was well suited to its subject matter.”

-
Magnus Andersson for "Klassekampen"
“Symphonic dances flows from Kverndokk's pen in a work that is as appealing as it is easy to follow right from the first listen. The orchestration is beautiful. It is quite a play of timbres where it is quite natural that a flute has a dialogue with a tuba, where the harp gets to be the solo instrument for a few moments in what Kverndokk says is written as a concerto for orchestra, and the composer seduces with warm strings.”
