Tomter , Kam & Ihle Hadland
Twin concerts from an exceptional orchestral family .
Viola player Lars Anders Tomter , clarinettist Sharon Kam and pianist Christian Ihle Hadland give two concerts together in the concert hall at Troldhaugen .
‘ We combine three instruments that are at one and the same time similar and dissimilar . They belong to different families of instruments , but have a very similar register ,’ says Lars Anders Tomter , who is in charge of programming .
There is little music written for the combination of viola , clarinet and piano . Mozart was the first to do so , with his ‘ Kegelstatt ’ (‘ Bowling Alley ’) Trio . Add Schumann ’ s Märchenerzählungen ( Fairy Tales ) and the original repertoire is complete . Another starting-point for the twin concerts in this year ’ s festival was Brahms ’ s sonatas , which exist in versions for both clarinet and viola .
‘ The Mozart trio and in particular the Brahms sonatas are all music I could not live without . These composers have really understood the soul of the viola and what it can express ,’ says Tomter , who was dubbed ‘ the giant of the Nordic viola ’ by the music magazine The Strad . Ever since his days as a student he has derived special pleasure from attending the Bergen International Festival , and does so just as much this year : ‘ Christian Ihle Hadland and Sharon Kam are phenomenal musicians who I love listening to , and Troldhaugen is a totally magical place .’
