Testimonials

     

 I have known clarinetist and composer Roger Arve Vigulf since March, 2001. That year I was working at the Lithuanian National Philharmonic and Mr. Vigulf was invited to perform as a soloist with the National Vilnius Quartet. There were three concerts scheduled in Lithuanian cities, and all of them were a great success. The fact that Mr. Vigulf became a regular guest soloist with the National Vilnius Quartet is the best proof of it. In addition, during the following years we have started performing together and established professional performing partnership with Mr. Vigulf. In 2004 together we started international festival of music and ecology “The Land of Disobedient”. An annual event was taking place in Neringa during the first two weeks of July. The Festival’s ensemble would perform seven or eight thematic programs, ranging from Baroque to free improvisation.The Festival was also especially keen on presenting contemporary music. Mr. Vigulf was not only a founding member of the group, but also for many years remained essential part both as very adaptable, flexible highest quality clarinetist and excellent composer with his independent ideas and very personal voice. In total I have known Mr. Vigulf for good two decades and want to attest to his highest professional qualities both as clarinetist and composer, his full devotion to music and his personal qualities that were allways attuned to the necessities of the group. Rokas Zubovas, pianist and Artistic Director of the festival “The Land of Disobedient”

 The work - Birds never stop Singing, by Roger Arve Vigulf Roger Arve Vigulf has written a rich and sonorous work, where the clarinet is a natural and playful centerpiece. It is primarily characterized by an organic contrast between a romantic tonal language and a much more contemporary soundscape, both parts handled with great confidence and proper craftsmanship by the composer. A continuum in loudspeakers with bird chirping is laid down in a wonderful way as a sound environment for several parts of the piece, where the clarinet forms a natural mediator between the birdsong and the music. The string quartet's playing is impeccable. It is constantly actively participating and weaves itself in a spatial play between background and foreground, in dialogue with the clarinet. This is an impressive work, where Vigulf gets to show what a phenomenal clarinetist he is, through music that also documents that he is a skilled composer.

 "The best soloist I have ever heard" (T.Fredriksen - Fremtiden) "The heart bursts into song" (S.E.Tandberg - Toensberg Blad) "Roger Arve Vigulf, the distinctive clarinet virtuoso and wonderful chamber musician, became the celebrity of the evening".(Karina Firkaviciute - 7 days of Art - Lithuania) "Roger Arve Vigulf, a technical virtuoso, with a sense of color and extroverted commitment". (Martin Haug - Drammens Tidene) "Entre deux trains for clarinet and strings had whimsical subtleties that Roger Arve Vigulf and the Hansa Quartet solved in an appealing way". (Espen Selvik - Bergens Tidene) "Remarkable clarinet CD, one should note the name straight away". (Trond Erikson - Smaalenene) "What raised Mozart to the musical Heaven was soloist Roger Arve Vigulf's clarinet playing. Just as rhythmically dancing musically as his figure, with a tone you rarely experience. Effortless virtuoso, his nuances in dynamics and colouring, his lovely phrases, Mozart with depth perspective, with delicate warmth and bubbling excess".(Martin Haug - Drammens Tidene) "Clarinet Ultimatum"contains 18 miniatures (Cadenzas) for clarinet composed and performed by Roger Arve Vigulf. The recording shows a performer with extreme control over his instrument, dynamically, technically and expressively, and Vigulf demonstrates a virtuosity and playfulness that is quite rare " (Bjorn Bolstad Skjelbred - Composer / Musician) "Clarinet Ultimatum formal glows of magical poetry. The work is masterfully composed and shines with light and virtuosic communication skills. A gem of a CD!" (Aase Hedstroem- Composer, former Chairman of the Norwegian Composers Association) "Roger Arve Vigulf is a clarinetist of international caliber. I first got to know him when he sat next to me as a substitute in The Norwegian Radio Orchestra and later as a soloist in various contexts, especially chamber music where he has had ample opportunity to develop himself. As a performing soloist, he is to be found among the foremost, especially when it comes to newer music of a high level of difficulty". (Retired - Olav Lundgren - Former solo clarinetist in the Wiener Volksoper, The Norwegian Opera, The Norwegian Radio Orchestra)

  • Ukas Øyboer 2012

    I moved to Tjøme in Aug. 1996 and became acquainted with the photographer Herdis Marie Siegert. I lived on Tjøme until June 2014. The picture is from the newspaper Øyene in 2012.

  • L.A. Tour 2005

    The picture is from the newspaper Øyene 2005. In June 2004 I had my first tour to the USA, Los Angeles. I was engaged by California State University to be a soloist with the Calstate University Jazz Orchestra in works by Morton Gould - Derivations. The jazz ensemble was led by saxophonist Jeff Benedict. In addition, I had an all-evening solo concert at the same university with, among others, work by Snorri Sigurdbjørnson. In October of the same year (2004), I traveled together with Gisle Krogseth, and the following year (2005 - where this picture is taken from) I traveled together with Krogseth and Per Christian Arnesen, mainly for a sound recordings of work written by Arnesen. In addition, we had a concert in a relatively large church in L.A. the area.

  • Brosjyre bilde aug. 96

    The picture of me in the lake at Hvasser late in August 1996. The picture was taken by Herdis Marie Siegert. I used an old clarinet. The sea was around 17 degrees, so it was a cold pleasure:) This then became a brochure for the subsequent tour in March 1997 with Vigulf/Cicada String Quartet.

  • Tbg.Blad høsten 1986

    This clip is an interview with me in Tønsberg Blad in early October 1986. In that connection, I had been selected as a soloist with the Eastern Conservatory of Music Chamber Orchestra, with a concert in the old Munch Museum in Oslo. I performed Bjørn Kruse - LAKRIS. The concert went brilliantly, and in retrospect this was perhaps a small "breakthrough". Afterwards, I appeared on TV in Den Nye Søndagsposten with Erik Bye (March 1987), I got a 1-month temporary position in the Northern Wind Quintet, stationed in Mosjøen.

  • Bergens Kammermusikk Forening 2004

    In autumn 2000, I sent a VHS video cassette to the National Philharmonic in Vilnius. I began a fantastic journey in the landscape of chamber music. Soloist engagements with the Vilnius State String Quartet in the period March 2001 to April 2005. I think I have been a soloist with them in close to 30 concerts. We held concerts all over Lithuania, e.g. in Mirjampole, Klaipeda, Silaule, Vilnius, Kaunas. In addition, they accompanied me to Norway on a couple of occasions. At my Debut concert in Gamle Logen in Oslo 13.5.02 and as the picture shows, Den Nasjonale Scene in Bergen, April 2004. In the period 2000 to 2013 I had many engagements, etc. Bergens Kammermusikk Forening, much due to that friend of mine, Finn Totland, whom was the Director of Bergens Kammermusikk Forening for many years.

  • Ireland Tour 2008

    I did not expect that I would get to Ireland. My friend, the singer Elisabeth Goell, made this possible in October 2008. Omagh was the base for the Tour and I also played with the English cellist Tom Collingwood and the American pianist Craig Combs. In addition, the Irish violinist Rosie Nicholson was there. I have never seen such big pubs in my life...:)

  • Fotografene - Helene Boasson jan.2000

    Seeing these pictures here from January 2000 gives me goosebumps in a negative sense. Here I weighed 53 kg...and struggled a lot with food refusal. I had already started to "change myself" from late autumn 1996, and lost a good 21 kg in 1 1/2 years. Fortunately, I recovered from around 2003. These photos were taken at Fotografene i Drammen by Helene Boasson. 3 months later I went on a one-week tour to Bosnia Herzegovina, with concerts in Banja Luka and Sarajevo. It was an unforgettable experience..

  • Bonus Serien-Trittico 1995

    In the autumn of 1994, pianist Bjarne Sakshaug and I began to discuss whether we should start a quartet. We got Rolf Lennart Stensøe on percussion and bass player Magnus Söderberg. We arranged our first concert in the University's Aula in Oslo on 10 April 1996 and NRK P2 was present and recorded the entire concert. Then we were engaged by NRK P2 radio for a recording of Nordensten. The next day we were engaged by NyMusikk Oslo (see picture), which at the time had a series they called the Sonus Series. Me, Bjarne Sakshaug and Thomas Nilsson(percussion) played on this one. We premiered Frank Tveor Nordensten - Stiletto for E flat clarinet, piano, percussion and electronics. In addition, we performed a work by Igor Panov, Roger Wendelwick and Bjarne did a fantastic version of a piano solo work by Oddvar Lönner. Unfortunately, Bjarne Sakshaug passed away earlier this year (2023) so much, much too young...

  • med Ålesund strykekvartett 1996

    This picture is from 8 January 1996 from Voldsdalen church. None of the quartet members play in this ensemble today. I was born in Ålesund and grew up in Spjelkavik. Then moved to Eastern Norway in June 1980. There are not many times I have been a soloist with this quartet, but at least in 1996, 98, 2004, and in October 2010.

  • Nærbildet 2010

    In 2010 I collaborated with photographer Audun Wigen at Tjøme. We made a project called "Clarinet and Photo". We did 3 concerts together. At Blaafarveværket, Vestfold Art Museum and during Tjøme Culture Week. The picture was taken by Audun Wigen in 2010.

  • Vigulf - Ametri 2000

    This is the program from my first engagement with Bergens Kammermusikk Forening, October 2000. And WHAT a program! Ametri string quartet disbanded several years ago, but I still have the recording on cassette :)...

  • Kritikk fra M.Haug om Mozart

    On 24 March 1996 I was a soloist in the Mozart clarinet concerto with the Drammen Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Geir Tore Larsen. This was in Bragernes church and the hall was almost full. I came in a home-made Mozart costume, my mother had made it, and I had borrowed some from a Theater in Skien. The concert went very well, the orchestra struggled somewhat with my fast Mozart tempo. But the critic in Drammens Tidene at the time, Martin Haug, was very pleased!

About my compositions

I seriously started composing music in the winter of 1995. Since then I have composed 175 works. Some of these have been supported financially from, among others, Norwegian Culture Council, Norwegian Composers' Association, Composers' Remuneration Fund, Fund for Sound and Image. Several of my works have received international attention. My works have been performed in Norway, Lithuania, Leeds, Ireland, the USA, the Netherlands. Most of my works are printed at the National Library in Oslo. The work "Mefisto & Buzzo" is printed by Norsk Musikkforlag, where I also have a composer contract. I have also had 2 CDs of my own music released. These are "Mythologie" which came out in 2010, and "clarinet ultimatum" which came out in 2013. I became a member of the Norwegian Composers Association in October 2011.
