Nåde
over nåde (Mercy of
All Mercies) - '06
(Kirkelig Kulturverstedet FXCD 313)
Knut
Reiersrud and Iver Kleive have taken their
musical expedition back to Odense Cathedral, St. Knud for the third
time to record a visionary and heaven defying album. This, the 3rd
album of a trilogy (thus far) that began in 1991 with “Blå
Koral” (Blue Choral), followed up by “Himmelskip”
(Heaven Ship) and now with “Nåde over nåde”
(The Mercy of All Mercies).
When “Blå koral” was released many experienced
it as an aural revelation. What was totally new and surprising back
in ’91, was that the combination of church organ and blues
guitar could actually work unheard wonders in many variations and
colors; at the same time demonstrating the acoustic powers of the
cathedral’s inner space.
As with their earlier albums, old psalms and folk tunes stand solidly
in the foundation of the CD. But this time Reiersrud and Kleive
have maximized the aural landscape’s dynamics and 3 dimensional
qualities. Contrasts have been magnified and the mighty acoustics
of the Odense Cathedral were fully taken advantage of under the
able ears and hands of recording engineer Alf Christian
Hvidsteen.
Reiersrud used 8 different guitars on the recording and Kleive
made the absolute most of the Marcussen organ’s kingdom of
sound. The album contains 12 awe inspiring cuts (listed below) and
can be downloaded here after November 6th. Come and get …
“Nåde over nåde” - The Mercy of All Mercies”
… at least the CD!
