Kenneth Karlsson: Hilde Torgersen and I were invited to hold a concert in Bremen back in June of 1992. The Norwegian pianist Darlén Bakke had moved to Germany after studying at the Norwegian Academy of Music in Oslo and had already established a successful career for herself there. She wanted to acquaint the German audience with the music of her homeland and decided to organize a festival called "Bremen meets Oslo". With the exception of Antonio Bibalo's piece, all the music from this concert was composed for us.
