Torstein Aagaard-Nilsen | Manger Musikklag | Bjørn Sagstad
«A varied programme for brass band. Manger Musikklag really impresses on this album.»
«Dynamism with style! Aagaard-Nilsen has harnessed the brass band’s homogeneity and technical brilliance to create a truly magnificent work.»
«Manger Musikklag is one of the country’s finest brass bands, and it is a real delight at times to hear the standard of their playing.»
«Well-balanced and skilful band playing. In the album’s main work, ‘Dynamis’, both the composer and the band give it their all.»
«Powerful and significant. There can be little doubt that Manger Musikklag is one of Norway’s leading bands.»
Benjamin Isachsen | Magne H. Draagen | Berit Cardas
«A brilliant boy soprano: Benjamin Isachsen makes a beautiful debut with this CD.»
«Something as rare as a Norwegian boy soprano.»
«The boy with the youthful voice. There is no doubt that this is a musician whose performance is underpinned by a solid musical instinct.»
«Now that he is about to retire as a boy soprano, someone has had the brilliant idea of releasing a CD on which he performs many of the best-known songs and arias for this voice type.»
