(Live Minnesceremoni Oslo 2011) Oslo Spektrum, August 21, 2011.

Adil Khan, Maria Bonnevie, Ane Dahl Torp, Ingrid Bolsø Berdal and Nicolai Cleve Broch read aloud the names of the 77 victims who perished in the terrorist attacks in Oslo and Utøya on July 22nd.

In my post of Monday, Moved to tears... heart sure to follow... Something truly amazing that I saw for myself -the National Day of Remembrance in Oslo
I noted how truly moved and heart-broken I was by the combination of these two performances back-to-back, about 90 minutes into the program.

I also noted at the time that I was writing it late Sunday night that an online video of Sunday's performance of Eg ser (To see) by singer and song writer Bjørn Eidsvåg had not yet been posted online, so I could share it with you and you could see for yourselves how powerful and moving that performance had been.

But now, thanks to the efforts of jockemustafa in Sweden, you can finally see it for yourself, as Eidsvåg is backed up by Kringkastingsorkestret, a.k.a. Kork, the Norwegian Radio Orchestra.

The performance after the victims names were read, continuing this sad and haunting theme, was the Kork performing Beethoven's 7th Symphony, 2nd Movement.


The complete program broadcast can be seen until September 20th at the Norwegian TV/NRK website at

NRK's information homepage for the attacks, with timeline, graphs and photos, is at:
