Hedvig Mollestad

• DIGIPACK EDITION

Hedvig Mollestad must surely be one of the hardest working musicians on the Norwegian music scene at the moment, with 'Tempest Revisited' being her third album in a mere 18 months, all at a consistently high artistic level. Her first solo album, 'Ekhidna' (2020), received a Spellemannpris (Norwegian Grammy), appeared on several jazz and rock best of the year lists and got her into Downbeat's '25 for the future' selection.

'Tempest Revisited' draws lines back to 1998 and the very beginning of Rune Grammofon. This was the year we released 'Electric', the collected electronic works of Arne Nordheim, one of Norway's greatest composers. It was also the year when parts of 'The Tempest', possibly his most cherished and well-known work, was chosen to be performed at the opening of Parken, the new cultural house in oelesund, birthplace of Hedvig Mollestad.
