About

Atrium, Danish cellist and composer Josefine Opsahl's (b. 1992) debut for Dacapo Records, is a strikingly original statement, focusing on her own music. The title has two definitions: one biological, one architectural. Out of their collision, Opsahl draws a reverberating series of dualities: soft/hard, organic/manufactured, natural/cultural. These are expressed most fundamentally in her distinctive instrumental set-up of cello and live electronics, which allows her to build entire orchestras of electronically modified and duplicated cellos live and in response to her acoustic playing.

Reviews

“…Despite the interesting range of influences and musical styles presented here, Opsahl’s music is consistently compelling and sincerely expressive. I can imagine that it would have an even greater impact within or alongside the spaces and objects that initiated her compositions, but it speaks well for her music that it can also stand alone.”

Peter Burwasser – Fanfare – March/April 2023

“... Opsahl’s tone and vision impress… it’s a companionable album on which to dream on an autumnal evening.”

Liam Cagney – Gramophone magazine Awards Issue – 2022

“A boundary-defying recital from a remarkable Dane… It’s a fascinating, deeply rewarding collection of pieces that are immediately likeable, but with plenty of detail and depth to repay much repeated listening.”

David Kettle – The Strad – October 2022
