- Into the lion’s den with Bodøs big son – NRK

– There will be a historical radio and Web-TV broadcast, while the audience can see it on the storm Concert in Bodo. You’ll see a production usually only hear. It’s a bit special, says Rolf Lennart Stensø, head of the Norwegian Radio Orchestra (Orchestra).

Radio legend Vebjørn Tandberg was born in 1904, Mecca radios at home in California and in 1933 he founded the factory that would do Tandberg name known worldwide. But in 1978 he took his own life after losing everything in the company he had built up. And that’s where the show starts.



– A strange dialect

Actor Pål Christian Eggen, who plays Tandberg tonight is a little a little nervous.

– It feels special to going on stage in Tandberg’s hometown with this piece. When I said yes to the role, I thought that I was going into the lion’s den.

For the are some challenges with Tandberg’s dialect. There you can hear here:

Hear recording with Vebjørn tandberg 1973 where he talks about radio excellence.



Hear recording with Vebjørn tandberg 1973 where he talks about radio excellence.

It is impossible not to be inspired by the slightly weird accent he had. After growing up in California, he lived in Trondheim for many years before moving to the capital in the 1930s. I console myself with the dialect when no longer clean bodø dialect.

Get help of music mouse

When we meet Vebjørn Tandberg is he far down. They have taken from him his life’s work, and he feels very strongly that life is not worth living anymore. When popping Tandberg mouse and guardian angel, Evterpe up.

– She does not want Tandberg will die with the feeling that his life has been wasted. She takes him back to the start and focuses on what he has achieved. She tries to change his look at your own life and work into something positive. To get him to understand how important he is for the further history after his time, says Heidi Gjermundsen Broch, who plays Evterpe.

Orchestra illustrates the story with contemporary orchestral hits from 1920 to 1950.

– Music has always been central in people’s radio listening. We are coloring the story with the contemporary music that was present in people’s radio plays when the action takes place, says orchestra leader Rolf Lennart Stensø.


A genius

Already in 1933 based Tandberg’s first radio, Tom Thumb. The vision was “radio for all the people.” The company is growing rapidly, but the war put an effective end to the propagation of radio components. But that’s when Vebjørn Tandberg makes his genius. Germans give him permission to produce radios, as long as they are not offered for sale.

At the end of the war Tandberg factory several thousand appliances ready for a starved radio people. Vebjørn Tandberg won all radio buyers’ hearts with his enthusiasm.

At the most the company has 3,100 employees, and Vebjørn Tandberg is considered a pioneer in areas such as vacation days, medical insurance and pensions.

– one thing was that he built up a group. Otherwise his thoughts about being a man in a business. He took good care of the workers. There was no in Tandberg Radio who was a member of a union, says actor Pål Christian Eggen.

in the decades after the war come the Germans, Japanese and Americans on the field. They have the same technology, but the ability to produce a much larger scale. Norway is a small country in the world, and Tandberg factory struggling adapt.

The state is on the team and he leaves the Board, it does not work. Now lose four million per month. Vebjørn Tandberg choose to displace the whole, in its own special way.

– I turned off the radio and the TV and put me to stop stockings, told Tandberg in an interview with NRK 1970 numeral.

31. August 1978, he gets a letter from the administration of the factory, that he is not wanted on a visit to their old premises. The following day, he takes his own life.

– It was tragic, and we never received any warning that he had so much difficulty. He was a special theme, and lived a life for themselves. Towards the end, he had a hard time. He took the decision he did, and that was enough for a purpose, says Vebjørn Tandberg nervous Reiert and Vebjørn Tandberg.
