Alexander siging to all hearts in his simple way.
The violin follows him through thick and thin!

Felix Peikli proved to be a true magician with the clarinet in "Keeping the rhythm"

Thomas Stanghelle is the great performing artist. Here with "You raise me up"
As the snow was falling thickly, the hall filled to the brim with expectant people, big and small. Nearly 300 people.
"Opptur" the new magazine at Nesodden invited to a concert on 18.1.2007 in the large, bright hall of the Pentecostal church on Fjellstrand.
Mayor Christian Hinze Holm opened the concert with a warm thanks to Alexander Rybak for his benevolent participation here, as on several other occasions. The profits from the concert go to the church's youth work.
Then he came in, Alexander, playing on his fiddle an innocent, tame classic song.
Jan Asklidsen from Opptur, interrupted politely, but firmly - it was agreed: There should be more swing at the concert!
And then there was swing indeed. Alexander truly showed that he can much more than classical. And that in a wide range. From a quiet longing in "Don't Take My Love Away From Me" to pieces of lightning fast rhytm. Even at high speeds, there were precise bow techniques: Resilient, yet rigorous; Berlin Philharmonic worthy.
Felix Peikli impressed on clarinet with a fabulous finger style and heartbreaking rhythms in "Keeping the Rythm". One almost forgot to breathe.
Thomas Stanghelle took the hall by storm, like an Elvis. By the piano trills over five octaves, by the full voice constantly in falsetto and by safe, stage-friendly manners.
Full hit!
With his self-composed "Angel of Love", however, he introduced his completely different, soft and nuanced side.
Alexander, Felix and Thomas played abouth each other and with each other. All three presented their own compositions that did not stand behind the other songs, neither in composition or the performance.
With his reply "Now that we stumbled into love songs, sort of ..." Alexander said. But that is perhaps what we prefer to hear? And everything in English.
With such virtuoso soloists it's easy to forget the band.
But they let the short moments brilliantly shine with great solos and it was clapped so all hands were red and hot! It certainly would have been a nice evening even if the soloists had not been present. So here we got over the top / guilding the lily!

It was a varied and moving concert; a very promising presentation by young, enthusiastic artists.

And another article in Opptur, the local paper of Nesodden -about an amazing concert with a versatile programme in Pisekirken in January 2007, Nesodden -, where the mood was on top from the beginning to the end, and the applause didn't want to take an end...
