Description
Helge Iberg commented that listening to The Beatles in his childhood and early youth left lasting impressions. Their style of melody and harmony were as fresh and challenging as their attitude and concepts. No doubt they revealed groundbreaking ideas in the field of popular music. The Beatles’ song portfolio is accessible to artistic intervention and stylistic challenges. Iberg’s re-creation of some iconic songs were inspired by jazz and classical ideas, but relies upon the melodic ‘naïveté’ needed to safeguard the music’s deep humane appeal. These songs are evergreen and alive, but in this context can only be justified by musical measures that should surprise and delight – preferably without being ‘artful’.
