This release showcases the music of Norwegian composer Sven Lyder Karhs through eight of his recent works, played by some of the most acclaimed performers of contemporary music today, including Ensemble Recherche, and Ensemble Ernst.

As a composer, Kahrs belongs to a continental tradition, having studied with Brian Ferneyhough and Emmanuel Nunes. Based in Paris for the past 20 years, Kahrs have worked closely with outstanding performers like Ensemble Recherche, cellists Pierre Strauch and Anton Lukoszevieze. The eight works on the album are written over a ten year period, ranging from solo works to large ensemble pieces with electronics. For the work “Und fernhin, ehe es alles geschieht” the surround electronics were developed especially in the Heinrich Strobel Experimentalstudio in Südwestdeutsche Rundfunk, Freiburg.
