On Tenor Battle, renowned Norwegian saxophonist and opera singer Håkon Kornstad breaks new ground by merging the soulful expressiveness of jazz with the passion of classical vocal music. Drawing on his dual expertise, Kornstad brings opera arias by Massenet, Gluck, and Bizet, alongside German lieder and Neapolitan songs, into a seamless and innovative soundscape enriched with Scandinavian jazz sensibilities.
This acclaimed release from Jazzland Recordings highlights Kornstad’s versatility as he sings in Italian, French, and German, evoking the charm of old-world salons while accompanied by a distinctive ensemble featuring harpsichord and harmonium. Praised for its magical, timeless, and boundary-pushing approach, Tenor Battle offers an evocative listening experience that stands out for fans of genre-defying music.
