Alexander Rybak, 23 – the fiddler...

The flying Norwegian

From “To Vima” newspaper 26/7/2009


Greek tabloid journalists used to call him bad names. But Alexander Rybak is just the opposite of what they said. He visited our country to promote his work, and he proved that all these people who were “digging a tomb” for him [idiomatic expression for defamation], are the ones who should be buried into this hole!

For the first time in two years the winner of ESC performed a classical concert.
“This is the first time I do a classical संगीत कार्यक्रम since I won the ESC, and I thank आप for the support”, Rybak कहा after the concert. There wasn’t a single tune from Fairytale या a single halling throw in the church last night. Instead there were classical pieces द्वारा Vivali, Händel and Tchaikovsky on the set सूची to the लोकप्रिय violinist. Rybak played from Händel’s Organ संगीत कार्यक्रम in F-dur, from Tchaikovsky’s Serenda and from Vivaldi’s Four Seasons*.

Only three groups, The black metal bands Dimmu Borgir and Immortal, and the electronica duo Röyksopp, have और supporters among Norwegian संगीत artists on the world’s largest online community.
