The composer Henning Sommerro moves rapidly, criss-crossing his musical stage. The space in which he moves has expanded: “All the world’s a stage”. In an open space the unforeseeable takes place; things mature, and grow. New elements are created, old ones are modified, and earlier contours are erased. With a respectful greeting we are drawn on by the promise of something bigger; the title UJAMAA sounds playful, slightly mystical. It is Swahili, and it means coming together in brotherhood.

Press reviews

Positive Feedback

With this album, we have two works by Norwegian composer Henning Sommerro (b. 1952). Both are composed as cantatas for soloists and orchestra, both are large-scale works. There is a theme associated with each, but the music is not programmatic. The music is highly contemporary, some would call it avant-garde. I’d just say it is modern, largely atonal, and very beautiful—often quite delicate. Beautiful and original, you just need to listen to it.

Nominated for 61st GRAMMY Awards 2019 Best Immersive Audio Album, this recording rewards us with Morten Lindberg’s typically clean, clear, highly resolving sonics… But, it works very well indeed in stereo at DXD resolution. Over headphones, the stereo version is itself immersive—and so clear that one simply relaxes and gets lost in the music-making.
