Secrets of living

Lena Willemark & Elise Einarsdotter

The words”Secrets of living” mirrors in a very exact way the music and the texts that Lena Willemark and Elise Einarsdotter perform. This is a tender, whispering and tempestuous manifestation of love and life, all in one production. Lena has a capacity for combining folk idiom and improvisation with classical precision and the verve of rock.

Lena Willemark is an experienced artist, who has performed in a variety of contexts. Here she cooperates with Elise Einarsdotter and her quartet on a unique CD filled with the warmth and beauty that both of them convey so thoroughly in their concerts.

The pianist Elise Einarsdotter writes the music and leads her own ensemble, the Elise Einarsdotter Ensemble. It consists of Elise herself on the piano, Olle Steinholtz, bass, Jonas Knutsson, soprano and alto saxophones and Martin Löfgren, drums. This CD was recorded in 1989 and reissued in 2005.
