Eivind Gullberg Jensen's Tchaikovsky praised by critics in Munich and Bergen
"Gullberg Jensen has a great conduting style, especially for high romantic music. He has been working with [the NDR Radiophilharmonie Hannover] for three years now, and their concerts were a highlight of the Bergen Festival 2012. He inspires with his unique approach to interpreting romantic music. While Tchaikovsky's music can sometimes come across as superficial, this was not the case with Gullberg Jensen on the podium." [Morgenbladet, 1 June 2012]
"Conducting the highly attentive Munich Philharmonic Orchestra, Eivind Gullberg Jensen sharpens the unheard orchestral occurrences, developing an impressive musical interaction... Jensen is a musician of great expressiveness; it is only natural that he lives out Tchaikovsky's near-existential 6th symphony in all its eruptions... It suits the sound of the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra that Jensen – unlike what others often try to do with Tchaikovsky's music – chooses not to polish it to a mirror finish." [Straubinger Tagblatt, 4 June 2012]
Listen to Norway sat down with Eivind Gullberg-Jensen and cellist Truls Mørk to discuss these concerts and more. Read the interview.
