"Gramophone" writes about MARIANNE BEATE KIELLAND: «The mezzo-soprano is quite outstanding: strong, firm, sensitive in modulations, imaginative in her treatment of words, with a voice pure in quality, wide in range and unfalteringly true in intonation.» She is educated from Norwegian Academy of Music, where she studied with Svein Bjørkøy. She has also studied with Oren Brown and Barbara Bonney. She is one of Europe's foremost mezzo-sopranos, and she regularly appears in the concert halls of Europe, Japan and America with conductors such as: Andrew Manze, Michel Corboz, Leonardo García-Alarcón, Christopher Moulds, Fabio Biondi, Jordi Savall, Rinaldo Alessandrini, Masaaki Suzuki, Thomas Søndergård, Thomas Dausgaard, Rune Bergmann, Jos Van Immerseel and Daniel Reuss. In 2012, she was US Grammy nominee in "Best Vocal Classical Album" for Veslemøy Synsk (Garborg/Thommessen/Grieg) by Olav Anton Thommessen, and with this and more than 50 other recordings and a wide range of repertoire and performances, she is established as a remarkable interpreter of music from baroque to contemporary era. In 2020, Marianne Beate was nominated for the prestigious German classical music award "OPUS Klassik" in the category "Best singer of the year"! Sibelius: Orchestral Songs was released in 2022, Franz Schubert: Goethe Songs came out in 2024 and Nordic Noël was released right before Christmas 2025! More info on mariannebeatekielland.com
