The art of organ virtuoso, composer and Swedish Folk
musician Gunnar Idenstam focuses at the point where
different genres meet, and expresses how these genres
influence and reinforce one another. Firmly grounded in the
French tradition, his music and his arrangements, all of it
played by memory, reach out in the directions of both folk
music and symphonic rock music. Gunnar Idenstam has
during the last year performed twice in the prestigious
Mariinsky Theater Concert Hall in St Petersburg, in recent
times in Moscow House of Music, Russia, in several
countries in Europe and in the US.
His transcriptions of Debussy's La Mer and the Bolero by
Ravel are bringing down the houses at his concerts, and
those works and Ravel's La Valse are to be included in his
next solo CD on BIS Records. At the moment he is also
transcribing Stravinsky´s Firebird for future concerts.
His latest CD of his own music Jukkaslåtar/Songs for
Jukkasjärvi is atmospheric folk/symphonic rock integrated
with sami yoik and organ.
”…one of the most bittersweet, nostalgic, and life- affirming
albums I have come across in a long time…” Audiofile
