The American legend Judy Collins embraces Grieghallen with heartwarming songs .
Collins made her recording debut in 1961 , and is one of the greatest folk musicians of her generation . She is still active both as an artist and as a social activist and has made her own versions of songs by Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen among others . She is perhaps best known for Both Sides Now , a song , although written by Joni Mitchell , first recorded by Collins . Her focus is on good stories and gripping melodies and she has fallen for Norwegian songs including Jonas Fjeld ’ s Engler i snøen (, Angels in the Snow ,) and Thomas Dybdahl ’ s From Grace . The latter is included on Judy Collin ’ s duet album released last autumn .
Thomas Dybdahl has released six albums , sold over 400.000 records , won three Norwegian Grammys and fills concert halls both in Norway and Europe .
’ That someone who has made a career of finding good songs and making them her own , has found my song is extraordinary ,’ Dybdahl has said . Both Sides Now is one of his all-time favourite songs .
Judy Collins has performed a number of times with various symphony orchestras , and on this occasion at Grieghallen she will be joined by KORK ( The Norwegian Radio Orchestra ).
