Torsten Nilsson Works for organ & piano

The pianist Hans Pålsson and the organist Hans Hellsten are among the foremost Swedish interpretes on their instruments. Here they play the music of eccentric Swedish composer Torsten Nilsson (1920-1999). You will find very accesible parts such as the solo pieces for the organ and for the piano, but also a concert for organ and piano that demands full attention from the discerning art music listener. "...from 'Av djupets nöd' ... where the organist's registrations present vigorous variations... to 'Revelations' where the musicians together throw themselves into irrepressible improvisations howling like wolves. Already 'Five meditations for piano' stretches the physical limits of the piano. In Torsten Nilsson's music you experience the feeling behind the dissonance, and even when Nilsson explores the innermost parts of the organ in 'Ski'zein' you imagine some kind of exploration of the soul."
