Clare O'Connell - Clare O'Connell: Light Flowing (2025) Hi-Res

Light Flowing is an album of works for cello performed by Clare O’Connell as part of NMC’s Artist Series. The album features works by composers Edmund Finnis, Nick Martin, Emilie Levienaise-Farrouch, Natalie Klouda, Emily Hall and Alex Mills and is inspired and tied together conceptually by ideas of light, depth, simplicity, the search for a perfect line, and capturing an otherworldly beauty that these carefully chosen composers represent within their different sound worlds.

Speaking about the album, cellist Clare O’Connell said: ‘This body of work expresses what I want to hear and play on the cello. I am always looking for new music which represents how I think and feel and so I began looking for an introverted introspective simplicity, which I hoped would transport the listener to a place of peace. It has been a huge privilege to explore with them all, and I’m enormously proud of what has been created.’
