PRESS CUTTINGS

Excerpts from norwegian press reviews from the concerts in Oslo Concert Hall 2002.

”Distinct dispentions of fate, character, emotional life in the grand, even boundless, drama the composer sets before you. [..] Musically there is much beautiful, melodious euphony”

(Anette Mürer, Dagbladet)

 ”Haune’s music is traditional musical-music, solidly arranged for the Radio Orchestra. [...] The songs are steadily well written and the interpreters in this production gave a strong performance. [...] Kjell-Ole Haune has a dream: He wants to see his own musical TONIGHT in London. Last night he came one step closer”

(Kurt Bakkemoen, VG)

”In war and love – young and commited. [...] The story is dramatical and complex – musically there is a great deal of real beauty. [...] Elector Ivan Kahn is a mix of Milosevic, Stalin and Hitler with a touch of Kim Il Jong and Herod, and it is a chilling moment when he, after loosing the battle, composes himself and says he’ll soon return, just with another face.”

(Mona Levin, Aftenposten)

”Musically TONIGHT is an exciting, energetic and at times intensely raw experience, well performed by strong, secure singers from our own stages and the West End of London. [...] First and foremost this concert version of TONIGHT is solid evidence that Haune is on the right track to a true fullstage musical.”
