Description
Aurora Records is delighted to announce the Norwegian experimental composer Oyvind Torvund's first album of orchestral music A Walk into the Future, an effervescent excursion in four pieces astutely rendered by the Oslo Philharmonic and conductor Olari Elts.
"listeners will find Torvund's music to be fresh, original and accessible. His cause is splendidly served by the Oslo Philharmonic under Olari Elts" – MusicWeb International
"[The Oslo Philharmonic] approaches this music with both power and elegance. They are masters of this musical language and offer a well-seasoned mixture of serious devotion and playful lightness that characterizes these works. […] Here the combination with the electronic instruments makes me sit up and take notice, especially as the soloists know their craft inside out." – Pizzicato ****
"This is music that puts a smile on your face […]. It's chaotic, cheeky, mismatched, unabashed, wholehearted and joyously strange. […] Of things I've ever reviewed I'd say: please listen to this. I hope it will make you smile. […] I don't think it will leave you unmoved." – The Arts Desk
