How lucky can one guy be;
I kissed her and she kissed me
Like the fella once said,
Ain’t that a kick in the head? Continue reading Ain’t That A Kick In The Head?

The event was arranged by Visit Sweden and the hotel as a celebration of the long time Norwegian/Swedish collaboration. The Hotel was given Norway as a national gift by Sweden 50 years ago, and they invited all to a free event with artists from both Sweden and Norway.
It was an outdoor concert and unfortunately it was a heavy rain, but that didn’t stop Alexander for giving a performance. And thanks to Kjertsi T and Austen Potter who recorded Alexander’s performance, we can enjoy this concert too. 🙂

You’re standing right in front of me
with yet a purpose I can’t see
I wish I knew what’s on your mind
but that’s a key I’ll never find
Music and lyrics by Alexander Rybak
Far from a place where I am writing the song,
There is a girl to whom my heart belongs.
She doesn’t know that I’m thinking of her,
But again – that’s not the point.
Music: Alexander Rybak
Lyrics: Alexander Rybak, Thomas Wærnes
I used to be in search for beauty
Used to be in search for grace
Now I see your lakes, your forests
You have put a smile on my face

Sparkling interplay, charm and joy of playing were served to the audience when Alexander Rybak and Felix Peikli together entered the stage in Valdreshallen, Saturday, for income for the project they are both ambassadors for, Playing for a Future.
This was the second year in a row that Alexander Rybak had a concert at Fagernes, during Valdres Summer Symphony Festival, to raise money for the help project Playing for a Future, which helps children from poor parts of the world to participate in the Summer Symphony. This time, he was not alone on stage since the project’s new ambassador, the clarinetist Felix Peikli, joined him on stage.
Not the first time
The two young musicians know each other well from before, and it was not the first time the two were on stage together in Valdres. Also during Valdres Summer Symphony in 2008, they held a concert together in Valdreshallen. There is no doubt that the two thrive in each other’s company, which is clearly expressed musically. With them on stage they had Gunnar Flagstad on piano, Sjur Bjærke on double bass and Øystein Aarnes Vik on drums, and with that it was all ready for an unforgettable concert where the joy of playing was central.
Something that was not definitely not lacking this evening was charm, joy of play and talent. And the audience was served both fabulous solo numbers and sparkling interplay where you got to see Peikli’s jazz-inspired expression and Rybak’s classic style in wonderful symbiosis. And during the hour-long concert, they performed a repertoire containing everything from “Visa Vid Vindens Ängar” to “Summertime”, before it all ended in a terrific, improvised extra number that they gave the title “Valdres blues”.
Playlist
The songs order in the playlist is not necessarily the order they were play in the concert.
Thanks to Laila U and Hildebjørg H, who were present and recorded, we can also enjoy these precious moments 🙂
