J.S. Bach: Das Wohltemperierte Klavier

Bach, Beethoven and Schubert have been Niklas Sivelöv's significant musical companions since his childhood. Intense work with especially Das Wohltemperierte Klavier has led to Niklas Sivelöv shedding a contemporary light into Bach's musical universe. The foundation is here a style, where the rich sound of a modern piano - Steinway - enters into a fruitful combination of a musical expression dominated by rhythmical nerve and command of the musical form. Today Niklas Sivelöv has a repertoire of approximately 50 piano concerti and he performs on more than 25 CD's of which several have been awarded. He has collaborated with a large number of leading conductors and soloists, including Mario Venzago, E­P Salonen, J­P Saraste, Alan Gilbert, Leonid Gorokhov, Martin Fröst and Patrick Gallois.
Niklas Sivelöv lives in Malmö, Sweden and is professor at the Royal Danish Music Academy in Copenhagen.
