Farmers Market and Sidsel Endresen & Stian Westerhus Win Norwegian...
February 04, 2009
Uncompromising! One chair,one microphone,and little else. Sidsel Endresen lifts the art of singing to the highest level - yet she is completely natural and unceremonious. Her unforgettable performance astonished the audience and put them in a trance! This is not about traditional singing,or about acrobatics - but about music that is filled with a strange and wild beauty. A big thank you to the festival-team who had the courage to present exciting and new music in between all the safe acts of the festival! Wollf von Rechenberg/Cityzene Kassel
