About this product
Adolf Fredrik Lindblad was one of nineteenth-century Sweden's most prominent composers. However, over the years his music for piano has been overshadowed by his many songs and choral compositions. Lindblad wrote some sixty pieces for piano, but the majority still only exist in manuscript. A couple of years ago, Oscar Ekberg decided to study Lindblad's entire piano oeuvre, and this is the result the very first recorded compilation of Lindblad's piano music. The recording consists of a selection of character pieces and 'Songs without words'. The short character piece was Lindblad's preferred form, and he was clearly a master of this brief evocation of mood. Oskar Ekberg grew up in Sweden where he began studying piano at age six. After studying at the School of Music in Gothenberg, he continued post-graduate studies at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm. In 2003, he graduated and made his official debut with a performance of Prokofiev's second piano concerto with the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra. In addition to his solo career, Oskar dedicates considerable time to the performance of chamber music, and as an orchestral pianist in the leading Swedish ensembles.

This new features world premiere recordings of piano pieces by two of Sweden's most interesting composers, twice Grammis Award-nominated Ylva Skog and Grammis Award-winning Andrea Tarrodi, performed by Grammis Award-winning pianist Ann-Sofi Klingberg. Contributions also include works by pianist Mats Widlund in two pieces for piano four hands. This is contemporary and accessible music at it's best! In her composing, Ylva Skog (born 1963) intuitively blends and fuses musical styles, drawing inspiration from an eclectic range of sources including fine art and literature. It has been said that Ylva Skog stand with one leg in the tradition of Igor Stravinsky and Béla Bartók, and the other in jazz, rock and Latin American music. She works with a wide variety of formats, including electroacoustic music and choir. Andrea Tarrodi, born in 1981, is a Swedish composer based in Stockholm. She started playing the piano at the age of 8, and became interested in composition shortly thereafter. Tarrodi studied composition at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm, Conservatorio di Musica di Perugia, Italy, and the College of Music in Piteå with, among other teachers, Jan Sandström, Pär Lindgren, Fabio Cifariello-Ciardi, Jesper Nordin and Marie Samuelsson. She completed her master´s degree in composition at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm in 2009.
![Johanna Warren - Chaotic Good - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/36548f15-875f-4c30-9ca3-ee7f0a207304.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
Chaotic Good?is Warren's fifth full-length album and first for Wax Nine/Carpark Records. It represents a moment of rupture in the singer-songwriter's career as she transitions away from the quiet, folk-adjacent work that defined her early solo albums with a bold statement piece that demonstrates the breadth of her ambition. Here, Warren flits between crushing admissions set to spare piano solos and muscular declarations of independence that have more in common with grunge acts of bygone years than anything we've heard from Warren in the past. Warren decided to produce the album on her own and adding to the album's dynamism is the fact that it took shape over the course of four years in studios across the United States while Warren was touring her most recent albums?Gemini I?and?II. CD comes in Gatefold Case.1. Rose Potion2. Part of It3. Only the Truth4. Bed of Nails5. Twisted6. Hole in the Wall7. Faking Amnesia8. Every Death9. Thru Yr Teeth10. Bones of Abandoned Futures
