Fredrik Ullén

Intersections

Fredrik Ullén (born 1968) is one of Sweden’s most prominent concert pianists. His performances of both new music and music from the classical/romantic literature have been met with resounding acclaim from an international corps of critics. He has recorded several solo CDs and had solo performances in the US, Germany, France, and Sweden, to glowing reviews. His critically acclaimed Stockhausen CD on Caprice Records together with the percussionist Jonny Axelsson was used as the official Stockhausen presentation at the Polar Prize ceremony.

As a chamber musician, Fredrik Ullén appears regularly with the cellist Judit Csatószegi. He has had master classes and seminars at numerous conservatories and music academies in several countries along with his work as a brain researcher at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm.

On this CD, Schubert’s six Moments Musicaux are linked with György Kurtág’s short works from Books III, V, and VI, Games, with the subtitle “Diary entries, personal messages,” and his four ”Splinters”.
