Margrete Grarup - PH på Ny (2019)

Poul Henningsen has never driven the straight road - it doesn't make the music here either. While the rhythm rocks in the springs, the trip goes from the main road and out of exciting, winding side roads!
Margrete Grarup and Michael Sunding have fine tuned the music to PH's lyrics and found room for a lot of enthusiasm - with them behind the wheel, this piece of Danish history with its wealth of words now moves on in full speed and finest form. The duo is born with a release where the interpretations get juice and power, and the playfulness runs free. It will be published in February 2019 and marks the start of the celebration of PH's 125th birthday later that year.

Looking at PH's expression as a copywriter, the range is enormous with everything from nursery rhymes to revysatire, from fun to socializing, from acid to base - and in the same way, Grarup and Sunding span the music to emphasize the natural PH value of the words. They take their own musical backgrounds into the old shows and lead them in time with loving smiles, the joy of recognition, small surprises, sensitivity and finesse. There should be something for everyone, as PH writes: "There is no bad taste. There is only good taste and it is bad. ”

The musicians have been around a lot in their careers - also genre-wise!

Margrete Grarup has among other things 2 DMA nominations with her - among other things. for best vocals for the album "Walk with me", collaboration with Kaare Norge and great tour demand with the band Grarup Allstars. She teaches singing at The Danish Academy of Music, Aalborg and is a sought-after soloist when it has to be particularly intense, honest and swinging. "A wonderfully rich and expressive voice … a star" like Chris Mosey, All about Jazz writes.

Michael Sunding has previously with great success renewed national heritage and given it new life with the highly acclaimed releases "The Melodies of Carl Nielsen" and "The Melodies of Nordic Christmas", duo with bassist Mads Vinding. Both became the Week's Album on DR P8-jazz. "How to play with the national heritage - if you are gifted enough" and "elegant and effortless", it is concluded, among other things. in the media.
