Train Travel Norway: Oslo-Ål ~ Bergen Line ~ Bergensbanen ~ Ludovico Einaudi: Primavera

June 21, 2011, a nice, shining, sunny, warm day.... Travelling with the so called Bergen Line, or Bergensbanen (Norwegian) from Oslo Central Station to Ål. In Ål all passengers had to leave the train, and those who did not have arrived at their final station had to conitnue with the waiting busses: recently a tunnel in the route to Bergen was damaged because of a fire. That tunnel is still under construction.
In Ål I continued my journey by car, to Hovet.
This time I filmed the other side of the route on June 15.

This is a very beautiful video and the music you chose is perfect. Einaudi is also on of my favorite composers. The song is this video is not Alexandria which is one of my favorite compositions. The song in your video is Primavera from the album Divenire. All the same, and as mentioned, your video is most beautiful. Thanks

@tescares Thank you so much for your honoring words! :) Thank you also for the right information: I will remove the name Alexandria and add "Primavera" in the title and the tags.

Hallo Antoinette,

Ik herken het landschap zo goed, ieder jaar trek ik met een aantal vrienden er op uit om heerlijk te vissen in Noorwegen. De serene stilte, de wonderschone natuur, en uiteraard de visrijke fjorden. Ook Einaudi is voor mij de rust in mijn jachtige leven.

Luister ook eens naar Roberto Cacciapaglia, ook prachtig. Ben een aantal nummers van hem aan het proberen om zelf te spelen.

@huppie1234567 Hallo René... Het doet me heel erg goed je reactie te vinden en te lezen. Over de muziek: ja, ik ken Roberto Cacciapaglia, heb ook muziek van hem in mappen, en ga die zeker voor volgende videos gebruiken. Jij speelt piano! Ben je musicus? Ben ook hierdoor bijzonder aangenaam door verrast....

Wow, no wonder my grandmother and Danish relatives love going to Norway. Incredible beauty.

[NakedSuits]

So very beautiful. The music is perfect for this as well. :)

@MoLahBel2 Thank you for sharing your experiences in and with Norway! :)

About Grieg: I know what you mean, but Grieg's music has been used so much for videos that it would have bored to hear it again. Music is very important for videos, and well... Ludovico Einaudi is one of my favorite composers, also composing music with beautiful atmospheres....., and therefore fitting here with the Norwegian landscapes. Another favorite Norwegian composer (searched also music from him) is Øystein Sevåg.
