葛洛文（sigmund groven）是來自挪威的國寶級口琴演奏家。身為世界上少數(shù)幾個口琴吹奏好手中的頂尖翹楚，他的口琴專輯已經(jīng)成為挪威的文化遺產(chǎn)，可說是口琴大師中的大師。西格蒙．葛洛文使用的是一把訂做的銀制演奏用口琴，演奏范圍從流行歌曲和民謠到他的個人創(chuàng)作，從巴哈的作品villa-lobos等作曲家為口琴及管弦樂團(tuán)所創(chuàng)作的曲子都有。 "A magical hour-and-a-half"--- "A revelation..." --- "A thoroughbred musical poet..."--- "His music soothed my soul and lifted my spirit"--- "Music in its purest form"--- those are some of the accolades describing the artistry of Sigmund Groven. Recognized as one of the world's leading exponents of the chromatic harmonica Sigmund Groven appears regularly in concert, on radio and TV, and at music festivals throughout the world. At the Golden Jubilee of the Dartington International Summer -Music Festival in England last August he conducted a master-class together with his teacher and mentor Tommy Reilly with students from 4 continents, and gave a concert with the Sinfonia of Lahti from Finland. His performance at the Hong Kong City Hall Concert Hall last September was also a triumphant success. The 1999 schedule includes concerts with the famous Academy of St.Martin.in.the-Fields Chamber Ensemble, a tour of Japan following his 1995 Japanese visit, as well as more concerts with the Dala Sinfonietta in Sweden after his successful tour with them this year. In addition he has signed a contract with GRAPPA Records to record several new albums, one of which will include original works for harmonica and orchestra.
