Eivind Aadland

Mr Aadland's recording output encompasses a diverse range of repertoire and he is a champion of Norwegian and Swedish composers.

These include the symphonic works of Eivind Groven, a disc of Norwegian orchestral favourites and the complete music for violin and orchestra of Arne Nordheim with the Stavanger Symphony – all for BIS records.

On the Simax label Aadland he has made discs of Irgens Jensen's works with the Bergen Philharmonic, music of Ole Bull with the Trondheim Symphony and music of Gustav Holst, Percy Grainger and Florent Schmitt with The staff band of the Norwegian Armed Forces.

A student of Jorma Panula, Eivind Aadland was encouraged by Mariss Jansons to pursue his conducting career.

Mr Aadland studied with Yehudi Menuhin and together they performed chamber concerts in Paris and London as well as in Switzerland.
