Description
Hvoslef became a composer almost by accident. in his 25th year as a theory teacher at the Bergen Music Conservatoire, he composed a piano concertino for his own satisfaction. Shortly after, his father (Harald Sæverud) passed on to him a commission for a woodwind quintet he had no time or inclination to write. Since then Hvoslef has received a fairly steady stream of commissions and his work list counts with some 160 compositions to date. Hvoslef always enjoys a challenge and he has often written for unusual or seemingly "hopeless" instrumental combinations, always using the limitations of the ensemble as a stimulant for his imagination. He has written for large orchestra, for a great variety of chamber ensembles and for solo instruments. He has composed twenty concertos and three operas.
