Description
"Im Treibhaus", the new trio album from Hakon Kornstad (saxophone, vocals), Frode Haltli, (accordion) and Mats Eilertsen (double bass), explores the link between romantic classical songs and Scandinavian jazz.
The selection of songs and arias by Tosti, Mascagni, Verdi, Grieg and Wagner among others calls for a highly original and invigorating mixture of drama and meditation. The title "Im Treibhaus" (In the Greenhouse) is taken from Richard Wagner's Wesendonck Lieder and is featured in an instrumental version on the album.
Welcome to a neo-Victorian nachspiel with three of Norway's finest improvisers, presenting the music history in a new way. Without boundaries, and with a lot of surprises, the album is a true expression of Hakon Kornstad's rare accumulation of musical influences.
