Renowned solo double bassist Dan Styffe performs works by Arne Nordheim, Ingvar Lidholm, Witold Lutoslawski and Aulis Sallinen. Three works by Nordheim form the kernel of the album, on which Styffe has grouped music originally written for double bass with music for cello adapted for its larger relative.\r
\r
Arne Nordheim was a figurehead for the entire Norwegian post-war musical modernism. \u2018Clamavi\u2019 (1980), inspired by a biblical psalm, a cry for help dividing the world into good and evil people and intentions, \u2018Partita\u2019 (1982), written unusually for six double basses (performed by Styffe and several of his students, as well as H\xe5kon Thelin) and \u2018Three stanzas for double bass alone\u2019 (1998), all feature on \u2018Octophonia\u2019.\r
\r
The other music is by composers who are in various ways associated with Arne Nordheim\u2019s work. Ingvar Lidholm, with whom Nordheim studied, is represented by \u2018Fantasia sopra laudi\u2019 (1977). Together with Ingrid Andsnes, Styffe also plays \u2018Grave: Metamorphoses for cello and piano\u2019 (1981) by Lutoslawski, a composer who, with his sound mass techniques, was an important inspiration for Nordheim. Like Nordheim, Sallinen is a composer with a social and political involvement with music beyond the purely aesthetical. His \u2018Elegy for Sebastian Knight\u2019 (1964), a piece characterising a turning point in the composer\u2019s practice, back to an expressive, free tonality.\r
\r
Swedish-born Dan Styffe is a central figure in Norwegian musical life. He made his solo debut in 1985 and is a much sought-after soloist and chamber musician around the world. His discography is comprehensive, with several CDs and solo albums behind him, all of which received great critical acclaim. \u2018Octophonia\u2019 is his sixth solo album.\r
\r
\u201cDan Styffe is easily one of the top international soloists on his instrument and a major force in contemporary music\u201d - Bass World on Dan Styffe\u2019s last album, Secret Memories (PSC1324)
