Discography:
Years go by - Inhaling Life means Exhaling Music

Including the debut album on Berg´s proprietary label Kornåld Music in 1993, Fred Jonny Berg has produced or performed on eleven albums.

Kornåld Svøle, Berg´s alter ego, was introduced in 1993 on the MC Slurvebingen (it can be roughly explained as a bin where someone is strumming their lips). In this bin Kornåld Svøle is indeed strumming his lips, producing non-sense and less non-sense. He introduces the listener to a surreal world of songs and poems, and he presents an alternative outlook on life.

Muligens was released in 1994. It was recorded in Røros-Tynset studio. The album contains electroacoustic works, classical pieces and humoristic songs - following some of the tracks of Kornåld Svøle.

In 1999, the original Slurvebingen proved to be too small - as there was more material pouring out from Svøle's mouth. This was released onto a larger format, and it became Den Store Slurvebingen - with even more content and more surrealism.

Also in 1999, Flyktning i vakker motstand was released. This is a collection of new songs, featuring "Hun tok min Hånd". This song contains a theme which Berg later used in the symphonic poem Randi Op.27

As the third album in 1999, Pictures before an Exhibition was resembling the soundtrack genre. It contains eight electro acoustic works, and the cut that carries the album title, was originally commissioned for Festspillene in Bergen in 1997.

In 2000, the chamber music related album, Seasons of Life was released. Flute Sonata no.1 op.40, Violin Sonata no.1 op.50 and Waltz of the Queen op.4a are three of the present works. On this album, the flutist Tom Ottar Andreassen, the violinist Håvard Daae Rognli and the pianist Wolfgang Plagge contribute.

Flute Sonata no.1 op.40, one of the works presented on this album, was warmly received. Glenn Franco, Gods of Music, credits the piece with a top score: - Fred Jonny Berg has given the world yet another timeless classic with Flute Sonata no.1 op.40 and should be heralded for his tremendous effort and choice of musicians for this grand masterpiece. I can find no fault of any kind with this wonderful piece, it is truly perfect and there is only one score for perfection.

Then in 2001, Kornåld Music decided to put together a compilation of old and new songs, and  Stille, Stille was released. This CD includes all the tranquil songs from Muligens and Flyktning i vakker motstand – in addition to a new set of texts, and the song "Nært som Den er" (1998).

About my Grandfather was released in October 2002. The music is performed by the Norwegian Radio Orchestra under the supervision of Ari Rasilainen. Joachim Knoph is the soloist on two of the Piano Concertos. This recording also includes two symphonic poems. In 2002, Pori Sinfonietta and Ari Rasilainen performed Heart from Randi op.27 in Finland as an act of respect in memoriam September 11, and the city of New York. The same work was performed by Philharmonia Orchestra and Vladimir Ashkenazy in London in 2009.

Piano Concerto no.2 "Urge" op.44 and Piano Concerto no.3 "Monster"op.45 are works that Berg has dedicated to nature. The two symphonic poems; About my Grandfather op.37 and Heart op.27 no.5 refer to his grandfather Ragnvald Jacobsen (1905 - 1997) and a beloved woman. 

The works present on About my Grandfather were also used in the music- and fiction movie Montagna con Forza, which Berg directed.

On the latest album, Grammy nominated Flute Mystery, Berg returns to the symphonic poem and concerto genres. On this album, Emily & Catherine Beynon are the soloists on flute & harp, with Philharmonia Orchestra, conducted by Vladimir Ashkenazy. Get insight via an interview with NaxosBLOG
