“Hvem hadde gjettet at den aller beste plata i disse dager skulle bestå av samtidsmusikk for harpe?…Sunniva Rødland er en av Norges fremste harpister, og en av de få som har gått dypt inn i samtidsmusikkrepertoaret for instrumentet. Plata har et glitrende sammensatt program….I sum er dette likevel en av de aller beste samtidsplatene jeg har hørt på lenge. Den stimulerer intellektet, samtidig som den er nydelig å lytte til. Plata er full av ro og ettertanke. Den er nydelig framført, og flott innspilt av det dyktige Lawo-teamet.”
“Like tapas for harp, the servings may be small, but they are luminous and filled with imagination….
While their energy is clearly powerful, it’s in the pregnant silences where Rødland sets them apart that the magic occurs, their echo and decay as interesting as the moment the strings are struck and sound begins….
In Rødland’s hands, the music becomes a magical journey that invites comparison to Debussy’s Nocturnes where images come into focus, then recede just as quickly, never quite able to pin down—or at least not for long. It’s delicious…”

Det er spennende og vakkert og jeg lar meg lett imponerende av Rødlands følsomme spill.

Dette er et svært verdifullt program som viser dybden i moderne norsk komposisjon.
Guy Rickards, Klassisk musikkmagasin om Postures
“Rødland has done an excellent job of re-defining the meaning of performer professionalism, expanding the field of competency expected of the classically trained musician to embrace a more profound interpretation of contemporary music expressions through co-creational collaboration with living composers and confronting new instrumental challenges with artistic confidence and self reliance.”
Prof.Bjørn Kruse, Prof.Gabriella Dall’Olio and Prof.Anne LeBaron
“The critical reflection, Let the Harp Sound!, is no doubt an important contribution to pedagogical and aesthetical harp literature in the field of contemporary music on a broad international level, not only for other harpists, but also to a very large degree for contemporary composers and music researchers.”

“Rødland’s discussions on interdisciplinary perspectives and applications are particularly relevant and falls right into the ongoing discourse on musical communication and education taking place internationally.”
