SAGT OM OBK

[The] choir is very good in so many aspects, but above all it is worth to notice that you managed to get all our attention. We believed you, trust[ed], enjoy[ed]/your musicality [which] is on a high level. Everything is so natural, modest but deep and interesting at the same time/true artistry. Congrats!

Kveldens kor, Ole Bull Kammerkor, er et godt eksempel på et lokalt kor
som gjør seg fortjent til plassen i festspillprogrammet.
Noen av salmene synger de aleine, mens andre deles mellom koret og publikum.

Dirigent Jon Flydal Blichfeldt snur seg halvveis mot oss og gir tydelig tegn.

Lille Sankt Jakob kirke er fylt til randen, og store deler av publikum synger ivrig med.

Maja Skanding, Ballade

Min beste koropplevelse noensinne – jeg ble helt satt ut av den konserten!
Takk, «Ole Bull» ❤

Bergen Domkor er glade for godt samarbeid med Ole Bull Kammerkor under samproduksjonen med BFO (Bergen Filharmoniske Orkester, red. anm.) En del av korrepertoaret krever en viss størrelse på ensemblet, og det er fint for domkoret å kunne forene krefter med sangere fra samme by. De to korene klang fint sammen.
Kjetil Almenning, domkantor Bergen domkirke

– so newly formed but so accomplished already – for your immensely expressive, generous singing in both intimate & extrovert pieces that was both moving & breathtaking to listen to. You exhibited such control, clarity of sound, & memory skills. ‘Virgencita’ was astonishing; it had exactly the sense of calm, stillness, intense moments of silence & the bell-like quality that is the essence of Arvo Part’s later works. ‘Leonardo’ was exciting & uplifting; ‘Peccavi super numerum’ full of variety of interpretation & good ensemble. Your Grieg was exquisite.

Hørte og så OBK på Rafto-tildelingen i går, det var magisk!

Your performance was sleek and extraordinarily well-prepared; the sound across the ensemble was at all times warm and full, showing excellent vocal, ensemble (and conducting!) technique. I could go on but really, from start to finish it was a pleasure to listen to you sing and I feel that all chamber choirs (especially in the UK) could learn a lot from hearing you.
Victoria Ely, choral conductor
