“Subtile Nuancen von Licht und Schatten können uns berühren wie eine große mystische Naturgewalt, und das fasziniert mich”
Auf ihrem zweiten Album für Deutsche Grammophon widmet sich Mari Samuelsen den Werken von 13 Komponistinnen. Einige Stücke wurden für sie geschrieben, andere neu bearbeitet, darunter Musik von Hildegard von Bingen, Beyoncé, Hildur Gudnaðóttir und Anna Meredith.
Unerschrocken ist die Mischung aus dynamischer und origineller Musik auf Mari Samuelsens neuester Aufnahme für Deutsche Grammophon; um Licht und Leben geht es der Geigerin. Entstanden ist das Album Lys, norwegisch für Licht. 13 Komponistinnen sind zu hören – von Hildegard von Bingen bis Hildur Guðnadóttir –, eigens in Auftrag gegebene Werke ebenso wie neue Arrangements existierender Stücke. 14 Tracks, mal meditativ, mal animierend, über ein Phänomen, das wir zum Leben brauchen. Das abwechslungsreiche Programm der Norwegerin spielt mit zarten Nuancen des Lichts und entwirft so Musik voller Schattierungen in Ausdruck und Gefühl. Lys erscheint am 20. Mai 2022.

The Norwegian violinist Mari Samuelsen examines the fascinating world of Scandinavian film music on her solo album „Nordic Noir“. “Nordic Noir” stands for dark Scandinavian drama and crime series. You can listen to the music of this cinematic genre sounds on the album of the same name that Mari Samuelsen has recorded. In a duo with her brother Håkon Samuelsen, the violinist has long been known for exploring new sound environments and interpreting the works of contemporary composers. Together with Max Richter and the “12 ensemble”, she regularly explores the broad spectrum of modern classical music.

With „Nordic Noir“, Mari Samuelsen presents her recording debut as a soloist and devotes herself to mysterious, gloomy and melancholic compositions, which convey and characterize the character of Scandinavian crime stories that have established themselves over the last years as an independent genre. The works are written by Ólafur Arnalds, Frans Bak, Uno Helmersson, Johan Söderqvist and Arvo Pärt, and some of them have been created in close collaboration with the artist so that Mari Samuelsen has penetrated the music with her personality and created recordings whose authentic charisma get under your skin.

Norwegian violinist Mari Samuelsen’s debut for the Yellow Label is entitled simply MARI and is set for international release on May 31 via Deutsche Grammophon/Universal Music Canada, the country’s leading music company. Recorded with the Konzerthausorchester Berlin and conductor Jonathan Stockhammer, the album explores the contradictions of contemporary life – the fact that, despite the excitement of city life and the convenience of instant communication and express travel, many of us still feel a need to ground ourselves in the peace and quiet of the natural world. Mari herself was born in rural Norway and goes back to the family farm as often as her schedule allows. She was keen, therefore, to choose a selection of music echoing the conflicting pulls on our time and energy.
