DCV 032

Klas Torstensson

Stick on Stick / Urban Solo / Urban Songs

Asko Ensemble, Charlotte Riedijk, Netherlands Radio Symphony Orchestra, Zoltán Peskó and Stefan Asbury

There are people who climb the highest mountains or dive into the deepest sea caves. Adolescents who sail solo around the world. And then there are composers who explore pristine soundscapes. Klas Torstensson is such a composer. He dangles from cliffs, wanders over tranquil plains, weathers gusts of winds ... while working in his loft at home. The result is an amazingly strong and rich oeuvre which has been performed, praised, and admired all over the world.”
(Saskia Törnqvuist)
