About: Magnus Lindberg

Magnus Lindberg is a Finnish composer and pianist, one of the most prominent voices in contemporary classical music. He studied with Einojuhani Rautavaara and later with Gérard Grisey in Paris, which shaped his dense, spectrally influenced sound world. Over the decades his style shifted toward a more rhythmically driven, accessible language, as heard in works like Kraft and his Clarinet Concerto.

About: Terje Rypdal

Terje Rypdal is a Norwegian guitarist and composer whose work sits at the crossroads of jazz, rock and contemporary classical music. He built his reputation through a long association with ECM Records, releasing albums defined by his atmospheric, effects-laden electric guitar sound. His music has shaped generations of European improvisers.
