Mezzotints demonstrates the continuum of the chamber music oeuvre in the contemporary era with solo and chamber works by internationally acclaimed Norwegian contemporary composer St�le Kleiberg whose broad discography includes the Grammy nominated opera David and Bathsheba, and the widely performed 2004 chorale Requiem included in a Washington D.C. performance commemorating the 9/11 U.S. attacks. The inspired playing of Marianne Thorsen, violin; �yvind Gimse, cello; B�rd Monsen, violin; Ole Wuttudal, viola and J�rgen Larsen, piano bring to life the command, technical mastery and great expressiveness of these scores.
