GREEK article about the «Magic Ice» Museum and Rybak. Nothing about the alleged cancellation of the concert.

“Imerisía” – 20.4.10

► Hand-made translation:

«A museum made of… ice in Constantinople» (=the city's Greek name)

On 23 April a new museum will be opened in Constantinople. It will be the first Ice Museum made in a hot country.

At the opening Alexander Rybak, the winner of the Eurovision song contest, will perform a concert.

The museum is located on the European side of the city. It will cober an area of 1400 sq. meters. Visitors will have to wear special clothing before entering, because the indoor temperature will not be more than -5 ºC. The museum will house 34 ice statues and the main theme of the exhibition will change every 6 months. The cost of the whole project is estimated to be 20 million euros.

Seventy tones of ice will be transferred from Sweden to Turkey, especially for the statues. About 100 tones of ice made in Constantinople will be used for the museum’s walls. The same crew has manufactured the Ice Hotel in Sweden.

The whole project has been undertaken by the Norwegian Lofoten Trading Company. The cooling system was created by Turkish engineers.

I haven't read all the post, so maybe this is old news to you. But the Menuhin galla concert will be broadcasted on NRK TV2 sunday evening at 21.10.
http://www.nrk.no/tv/?dato=25.04.2010
(I posted a message earlier about it and deleted it again, because then they wrote it was at P2, which is a radio channel)
I think foreigners can't watch norwegian tv directly any more, but you can watch it on internet afterwards, if they add i tthere. They do with all the programs they have the rights for.

Great Venche! It is a recording because the concerts starts 19:00 I think. But then it is true what I read and write some months ago, that NRK would air it on TV the same night. After that they made people confused about P2, but it is still NRK2 :-) Some from abroad can still watch some shows, even it they have that (old) message about it.. And I will think (and hope) they have the rights for this one :-)

About the Menuhin galla concert, I'm a little bit confused about when in the evening they will broadcast it, in there own webpage they say at 21.10, but I saw a commercial ontv yesterday where they siad 20.10. So I'm not sure when it will be, but anyway it will be sunday night. And Marianne, as Gret says, it's not the pay channel, it's one of the NRK channels.

The girls faint - Ole Bull and Alexander Rybak

The famous violinist Ole Bull, was born 200 years ago. He was a great artist, a magnet for audience, a girl’s charmer, adventurous, generous both with money and talent.

*Playing fairytale *

To compare young Ole Bull and Alexander Rybak is quite natural. Great violin artist in the beginning of his career, an audience magnet and, like Bull, a girl’s charmer. Adventurous and prepared to share the talent.

* Playing Fairytale *
The Rybak effect shall be documented. It is said that he makes more boys to play the fiddle, and the girls to faint.
-Alexander is really a good role model. We are all a little inspired by him.
We are going to the children’s orchestra at Barratt-Due Institute of Music, where the boys stand in line to play the fiddle, and the girls agree to faint.... A little. Both because of Alexander Rybak and Ole Bull.
Are these girls to faint because of Alexander?-Hmm. I do not know.
That's our theory - that people faint because of him. You understand that? Yes .. giggle.

Violinist and conductor of the Barratt Due children’s Orchestra has invited Alexander Rybak to be the soloist in the Ole Bull "Seterjentens søndag”, and have master classes with ten boys in the 10-12 years of age, all working on solo violin pieces by Ole Bull.
First out is the 11 year old Kristoffer.
Alexander: OK, when you .. What do you think the story is about, when you begin at the sad part?
Kristoffer: That someone died.
AR: Yes, it was very sad.
Christopher: Lovesickness ..
AR: that your girl for many years has left you.
* Laughs *
AR: You are an experienced guy. Then you can tell about it .. You're not particularly proud if the girl has left you, are you? No.
K: But then you will find eventually a new girl.
AR: Totally right ... every month ... no, no.
K: Finally you find the love of your life.
AR: jajaja, do not worry about it. Let’s go back to the first story. It hurts a bit. It's almost so bad that you would like to close your eyes, because you are not very proud, and you do not want to look at the others when you talk about it.
AR: Play the minor part. You've seen violinists close their eyes many times, and then wonder why they do it. Right now you have a reason to do it because it's a little sad. Think that this is the saddest you've ever told us through your music.
* Kristoffer plays *
AR: Very nice, very good, once more. You tell a lot without using words.
Also, imagine that you are now so sad that you really can not bear to use your hand. Do not use vibrato. If you do not use vibrato, it can be a little ugly because it gets completely flat. Then you must use the right hand a little bit.*Plays *
-You did not close your eyes.
AR: No, quite right, I was not completely inside the lovesickness. Haha .. I was on a date yesterday so I'm not quite there.

R: Alexander Rybak communicates well with the boys at the Barratt Due.
Nine years old Njord is playing something else, Halling of Ole Bull.
* Playing *
R: You also had time with Alexander alone and played Halling.
Njord: Yes.
R: What he said to you?
N: He told me to be a little more energetic, with different positions with the body.
R: Do you think it was a good idea.
N: Yes.
R: Do you sometimes forget about that when you play concert? There are quite a lot to think about. The piece you are playing now is pretty difficult. Who has written the piece?
N: Ole Bull.
* Talking about different composers *

* Talking about how good the young violinists is *
* Music *
*Talk to Harald who is an expert about Ole Bull. He tells the girls fainted and cried when Ole Bull played the violin. The women tore off their jewels and threw them on stage.
It was made perfumes and soaps with Ole Bull name, etc...*

* Plays 13 horses *
R: I think we are approaching the fainting point now with Alexander Rybak on stage with his thirteen horses, a story from a Russian verse, which he heard as a child.
R: We will draw some comparisons between you and Ole Bull, and I think that making the girls to faint, is something you are really good at.
AR: Well, I do not know. I think it's difficult to say that about myself. It is not many who faint ... maybe 5-6 last summer, it is not so much considering that I have played for 500 000 last year in Norway.
6 girls from 5-600 000 it's almost embarrassing, it is almost none. Luckily, everything went well with them. You prefer that no one will faint. We always bring lots of water to the concerts witch I throw to the audience .. It is somewhat ironic, because we have water for people to not faint, but once I give the water for some, that's when most faint .. haha .. It’s a little bit funny. Perhaps it is because I have never aimed for the girls, I think.
It's when you really work for something and want something, very often you do not get it.
When I start to think: No, my music is for everyone and I'll tell stories to everyone. Then a girl might think .. hmm .. He do not care so much about me, so therefore it gets more exciting.
R: So that's the trick?
AR: I do not know, the trick is to not have any tricks. Just to have luck.
R: Now, maybe we were kidding a bit.
To travel around with a fiddle and fill the concert halls, so did Ole Bull for 160-170 years ago, and so does Alexander today. It's a fairytale.
AR: Yes, but the greatest fairytale, which also he did, and which is the largest similarity between us; is that the fairytale began when walking around with the violin and playing for people in their homes. Bull did this also and I did not know about it before. He is a role model for me, but I did not know this. It was very cool for me to learn about it.
R: You mean about going from door to door and play.
AR: jajaja. I made a great concert, where I gathered all the families I had visited. I played in a cave in Giske. Bull had also played in the same cave. There was his name engraved in the cave and I wrote my name there, too.
R: It is really something.
A: It's a nice cave and fine concert place. You never know how he felt and how his experience was. At least I think this was the greatest thing ever happened to me. Better than playing in front of 20 000 people. You can see the people and you can see the families and get to experience them up close. And then you get feedback that is more than the big applause. People tell you that they got really touched by a song and then talk about the song afterwards.
R: You might not bother so much about the big concert halls?
AR: No, but I want to fulfil expectations, especially when people pay for it and they are so nice to call themselves my audience or my fans - I do not like that word.
They come to my concerts and pay money for it. This makes me very proud and awakes my competitive instinct. Then I will really prove I'm worth the money.
R: You are also very ...
AR: ..handsome
R: Haha, that was not what I meant to say, it can be discussed, though
You are very kind to your fans. Not only on stage. You receive letters and presents, answer them and spend a lot of time on your audience.
A: It goes both ways. I get a lot of inspiration from reading a letter.
R: You receive many letters.
A: Yes, absolutely. I get very spiritually fulfilled every time I read a letter. There are so many children and it is so nice. And then there are writing autographs. I have to embrace all who love me.
R: How do you think Ole Bull felt when he sat in his room after a big concert with fainting ladies and screaming audience?
A: Hmm, difficult to say ..
R: Speak for yourself, then.
A: Jaja, you must not mention Ole Bull, then
I always have to share the experience with the people around me. I do not want to sit down at a rehearsal room after a concert. Then I have lost in a way. I never say “Yes” to concerts where I have to go alone to another country and not take anyone with me. It's really fun to go on tour with a gang. It is perhaps a bit self-destructive thinking, but I think that no matter how exciting experiences, if you do not have anyone to share it with, it's almost as if it has not happened.

R: Is the violin still important?
A: Yes! Do you mean to me or the others?
R: I mean for you. It's like your voice/mark.
A: I always like to have something in my hand. If not violin, I must have a microphone. I have become so used to hide behind something, like the violin. I always need to have an instrument, and preferably violin. But I feel now that there is a long time since I've practiced.
* Playing *
AR: Yes, it has been a long time since I've practiced.
R: You should not say that.
R: I guess that you've seen these books of Harald Heistad about Ole Bull. Have a look here. It is a picture in which Ole Bull tried a new hairstyle. What do you think about that? I know you constantly keep pulling your hair.
A: I am fuzzing my hair all the time. I am so fond of the style I have.
Do you think hair style is important? Here, Bull pulled it a little nicely forward.
A: I think it's important. I have to hide the hair loss.
R: Maybe he did too?
A: I have heard that baldness/loosing hair means you are very energetic.
R: It is related with energy?
A: I do not know, it's nice to have an excuse for it.
R: His music has maybe also inspired you?
A: He liked to keep it simple, with simple melodies. I think he liked to tell stories with the violin. Then it is very important not to show off too much. He did not show the violin, but the soul. It is that side of him I like the best.
R: Why?
AR: He did not care about the traditions, that's what's cool with him. He liked to do new things. It was he who discovered Ibsen. There was one called Bjørnson who wrote for the theatre in Bergen. Eventually, Bull discovered a poor student named Ibsen, and said that this is the man who will to influence this theatre. He was right. It is almost like when I said to Per Sundnes in the middle of MGP last year: You must come to the Barratt-Due to listen to someone called Didrik, he's very good at singing and I predict he will win MGP next time. YES
R: There you have talent scouting. You want to share your own energy and success with other artists.
A: The success, or rather the life I live now, I simply want to impose on to someone else. Success, I wish to all who deserve it.
* Music *
"We follow Alexander back to the room where the children are rehearsing. There is 11-year-old Ludvig playing a piece of Ole Bull. Patrick plays the piano
* Music *
AR: I would say you are a born soloist. You have so many good qualities. You play very beautiful and you've also "showmanship", meaning that you can make a good show. Indeed, there are details the others can learn from. Did you notice how he stood waiting? Yeah, like that right? One should not bustle around and watch other people. One should be absolutely self confident. It's about how you end the stroke with the bow, upward strokes are very good.
Even your hairstyle is fine. It's very good when you shake your head.
R: Here, you were impressed Alexander.
AR: Yes, here we found a talent or not me exactly
R: He had most of what is needed.
AR: Yes, everybody is very good, but Ludvig was special.
R: You talked about showmanship, enchant the audience and get the girls to faint.
AR: It is very important to bring out the best in everyone. If you see someone who is extremely good at improvising, but not too well in showmanship, then it is important to point out the good sides. Everyone is good at something; you just have to be patient to find it.

* Reporter and other persons are talking about Alexander has given new inspiration and new ideas to the class *
Not very interesting, so I won’t translate anymore.

Interview of Hallgrim Hansegård on Førkveld at NRK.no 16.4.2010


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPi5yb0s5-0

Translation: Maybe someone can make the subtitles.
R: Do you know what it means to grind snuff?

If not, you'll learn it soon. I can say so much that it's all about acrobatics of body control out of the ordinary, built on old traditions.

A small excerpt of what Hallgrim Hsegård and Frikar doing and has been done, and you are pprobably most known for participation in Eurovision together with Alexander Rybak in Moscow.

HH: Yes, that’s for sure, not easy to forget that. . It is not always that the dance company itself notice so much of it, since we are involved in so many different shows.

R: Are you tired of seeing these pictures from Moscow now?

HH: No, it was a very good experience in Moscow, can not hide that.

R: It helped to make Halling Dance and Folk Dance known to a wider audience.

HH: Absolutely. We have long had great faith in what we do, so it's really fun when we are allowed to travel around 25 countries to show it.

R: We shall soon see an example of what you're doing right now, but I would like to ask you. - The word Frikar - what does it mean?

HH: It is a very old word, which has migrated to English and have been called freaks.

R: So it is related to the expression freak?

HH: Yes it is. There were people who went against the stream, in dress, behavior, and they danced the rest of the floor. They were not dipped with.

R: It is not necessary to comment on the clothing style even further. It's probably a reason you have dressed up just like you have. But Halling dance then, one can say that it is to impress the ladies?

HH: To me it is not that important. The most important thing is to get experience coping with joy, fear, and being able to explore things.

R: It's an advanced form of check tric, isn’t it.?

HH: For sure, it has the some side effects, one might say.

R: It worked for you!

HH: I think it's important that people think that it is possible to express feelings with Laus Halling dance or dance. Where I grew up, we were not able to dance ballet. So it is quite natural for me to do the same things with Halling Dance.

R: Many of these "Karstykkene", which is in Halling Dance, is inspired by the animal world.

HH: Yes, that's right. It resembles very much on Kung Fu. We have frog movements and bear movements. Our movements are named after, either animal movements or farm implements,

R: What relationship do you have to Halling Dance, Bjarte?

B: I have a good relationship in that way I think it is great to watch. I'm probably one of the weakest performers, but I have worked with Hallgrim earlier in Egypt, when I played Peer Gynt a few years ago. We were lucky enough to get him to both dance and do some incredible acrobatic things. I was standing behind and bask in the glory, and learn a few simple things, while he took care of the difficult ones.

R: How was it to be part of this experience Hallgrim?

HH: It was absolutely magical to be involved in the production and warm up on the bridge by the Sfinx. There is so much to learn from such major productions, and when you have your 3 minutes on stage, you begin to miss being able to participate in some of the artistic developments. That’s the background of why we made a pure dance company of acrobatic dance.

R: Is your goal to travel around, almost like a Norwegian river dance, with the Halling dance internationally?

HH: Yes, It has been for a long time, and we feel like we work well with. It is important to do something that appeals globally, while I also think it's exciting to do weird local stuff.

R: Festspillene in Bergen will be busy for you. You will be in 2 different performances, including a performance that is solo performance, together with percussionist Terje Isungseth, called "Jamsies. That’s an expression that we know from the Ski jump sport. Tell us, what is it about?

HH: We have 12 performances during the festival. What we have worked most with this winter' is "Jamsies", and I started 3 years ago to work with choreographer Sølvi Edvardsen, who has worked mostly with ballet and modern dance. We have spent a lot of "gokarsstykkene" , that has been missed by the tradition, in modern expression. Terje Isungseth playeing ice, and we will see how that will work out for his instrument.

R: Before you show us some of the oerformance, we have to ask what the "Grind snuff" is?

HH: 100 years ago, they called it "grinding snuff" when you spin around on your head in Halling Dance. We know that they went over to the U.S. and did many performances with the head spin.

R: The second show you do at the festival is called "Snuff Grinders," which is a mixture of Halling Dance, breakdance and Brazilian cavoela (?).

HH: I can add that in "Jamsies" so it's about a boy who survives a natural disaster, and he tries to create his own little community for himself on a glacier. And he has become a little twisted.

R: So there is a kind of apocalyptic show?

HH: Yes, we can say that.

R: Halgrim is out on the floor and get ready, and we'll see an example of the performance "Jamsies.

Is this the answer to the dance version of the film "The Road"?

B: Yes, we can hope for it. I have not seen this performance, but I’m very excited and I look forward to the show during the festival.
