About

A student of Einar Englund and Einojuhani Rautavaara, Kjell Flem, born in Ålesund in 1943, has long been considered an international insider tip of the contemporary Scandinavian music scene. His compositions are traditionally non-radical, atmospherically unconstructed, and creates an ambience deeply rooted in the natural landscape of his homeland. His oeuvre is not extensive; rather, he allows himself a long creative period because, in his own words, truly magical moments of inspiration are rare.

Critic reviews

  • “This album presents two exciting and captivating works by the Norwegian composer Kjell Flem… The first movement of the cello concerto thrives on the contrasts between quiet and virtuosic-rhythmic passages.”
