The divertimento as a musical genre dates back to the nineteenth century. Divertimenti were composed for various social occasions and were intended to be light, uncomplicated and cheerful. Such pieces were often scored for small string ensemble.

Over the years this effortless, elegant form has appeared in many different musical styles and, to a large extent, set the standard for the virtuosic concert chamber music we know today. A number of the most prominent composers of our age have engaged with this most fascinating ensemble style and have contributed to its further refinement as a chamber-symphonic showpiece.

TrondheimSolistene has a close relationship with its main sponsors StatoilHydro and NTNU, both of whom have contributed to the development of the orchestra. Financial support from NTNU, Trondheim Kommune ,Fond for lyd og bilde and Fond for Utøvende Kunstnere has been instrumental in the realization of this project.

Positive Feedback

Put the composers Benjamin Britten, Bela Bartok, Grazyna Bacewicz and their compositions for string orchestra on a single album and you’ve got me hooked. And what a delightful album this is. Yes, I’m reaching back to a 2008 release here, but the music making is well worth tracking back in time to pull it forward for this article.

The TrondheimSolistene’s performance of Britten’s Simple Symphony is as enjoyable as any I know. With clean, immaculate, and technically assured playing the TrondheimSolistene create an ethereal performance. They don’t miss the lyricism, but also bring tremendous energy and excitement to this performance…The strummed strings and the pizzicato are just a delight to hear. The various movements are marked Boisterous Bouree, Playful Pizzicato, Sentimental Saraband and Frolicsome Finale. The performers deliver on all four markings exceptionally well… [Discussion of the various other included works]

The album closes with a fine performance of Bartok’s Divertimento for Strings (1939). Here we have the mature Bartok. In the Divertimento he convincingly succeeds in uniting folklore elements with radical, modernistic devices without ever losing sight of the principal musical idea behind phrase. It is a work I have long enjoyed, and the TrondheimSolistene give it another very fine performance.
