Emil Sjögren 1/Piano

Anders Kilström, Piano

Emil Sjögren (1853-1918) was a discreet and good-natured man, who never made any fuss about himself or his art. A book was written in tribute to him when he died in 1918, but since then his name has been obscured by other personalities who have taken up more space in Swedish cultural life.

This is the first of four CDs, with parts of Sjögren’s music for the piano and all his music for violin and piano. Emil Sjören’s music is characterized by refined and grandiose expression.

Pianist Anders Kilström is one of our most appreciated Swedish musicians. He works both as a chamber musician and as a soloist and has appeared as a soloist with orchestras in several European countries and in the USA. Kilström is also professor of piano at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm.
