Chamber Works No. 5
) | Label: Catalog: LWC1156 Format: HVOSLEF CHAMBER MUSIC PROJECTKetil Hvoslef (b. 1939) is a productive, versatile and undogmatic composer who- well into his seventies- continues to write music at a furious pace. Hvoslef’s style is characterized by an ecomony of means, the accumulation of latent energy, rhythmical ingenuity and, often, an element of humor. “Hvoslef Chamber Works No. V” is the fifth in a series of nine albums of Ketil Hvoslef’s chamber music. The idea to record 38 of Hvoslef’s chamber music works was initiated by violinist Ricardo Odriozola and pianist Einar Rottingen, both with backgrounds spanning many years of cooperation with the composer. The recordings daw from the vast pool of performers in Bergen, where the composer lives and works. The musicians are primarily from the Grieg Academy and the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra.
