I am a few discs into a Nordheim trip of sorts, and I have concluded that he shall require a guestbook. Discuss.

Seems like a very multi-faceted composer.

I've been following the releases of Arne Nordheim's music from Norwegian labels for almost 20 years.

I got started in collecting Nordheim with labels such as Aurora Contemporary and Simax.

My favorite works include "Spur" for accordion and orchestra (1975) and his Violin Concerto (on BIS).

A more recent album on Simax is perhaps the most representative of his career:
