R: Finally done – how was it?
A: Oh no, there are so many impacts – first of all I am very satisfied…
I have a kind of justice feeling: "Yes now I have rehearsed and now luckily everything has gone well, I have held my nerves under control."
There was… if I should… that’s typical me. Always – always focus on the most negative, so I should…
Next time I won’t have that kind of calm music straight after a lot of adrenalin, because then I’m still there so I get a trembling bow – so that was the one… typical me!
To remember just that… But everything else was so good, and – like, all the pieces that I was so nervous of – and now I have rehearsed for many, many hours every day –
and I was so afraid of anything to go wrong, perhaps that I was too locked in or something, but then - it helped inviting people!
A: I just wanted to practice and practice and practice the last days, also last night I practiced.
I think that is what divides the artist in me from the musician.
When I am the Artist, and I will just sing "Fairytale" for n’th time, then I think: "Ok now I will buy some new clothes, now I will think of the show".
and then the last 5 minutes before the show I think "Ok now I have to remember those lyrics…"
As for the musician, when it is a musician concert, then I think that I have to practice and practice and practice,
and then 5 minutes before the concert I’m thinking ‘***, what am I going to wear?’ – that’s the musician in me!
R: You got to make some show here, too?
A: Yes, yes, it’s very nice, also when all that serious stuff has been done so well – then it is nice to make a show!
A: The last show piece isn’t that easy, though… right, it’s fun for you, but I have to concentrate all the time…
R: But how is it to play here – in front of family and quite few people compared with 40 – 50.000 people around Europe?
A: If I hadn’t been used to it, I would have been very nervous, I think. But in addition to it being friends and family, this house is "friends and family".
I have grown up here, and… No it wasn’t any ‘and’, really – I have grown up here.
So I am so satisfied that I was allowed to invite friends and media and such – here to little, but big Barrat Due
R: When will you get to know your marks?
A: Eh, I don’t know. I’ll be grumpy if I don’t pass now! .. But – the A and the B are hanging high!
There are people who practice 5 hours a day for many years without setting foot outside this house – and I set my foot outside the house - I set my foot outside Norway every second day, like…
So I’m very proud that I have managed to practice in addition, right. In Baku, for example – yes I went to all the parties, but I opened all the parties,
and when the others continued partying and drinking, I went home to practice. So now I am very contended with it bearing fruits!
R: Your good friend and Grand Prix college Didrik got an A now recently…
A: He did? Now? R: I heard it from Per…
A: Great! Yes- then I am very satisfied…
R: Will this put a little extra pressure on you?
A: Well, yes – I can’t just say: "If he got one I should have one", because he did really great,
and it’s very…wide difference, singing and violin, but… eh, he really deserved an A!.... and I deserve to pass – I know that…
R: Congratulations! A: Thank you very much!
A: Thank you everybody for coming!
