Mari Samuelsen - LIFE (2024)
"LIFE" is inspired by Samuelsen's experience of becoming a mother, reflecting the emotional discoveries of parenthood. The album features works by contemporary composers such as Olivia Belli, Bryce Dessner, Ludovico Einaudi, Nils Frahm, Jóhann Jóhannsson, Mário Laginha, Hania Rani, Max Richter, and Steve Reich, with a touch of Schubert. Samuelsen collaborated with musicians including the string players of Scoring Berlin, conducted by Jonathan Stockhammer, to create a kaleidoscopic musical reflection of emotions like love, happiness, curiosity, and the contrasts of new parenthood. The album's rich contemporary color and contrast make it a compelling addition to the contemporary classical genre.
