Notes & Reviews:

Jan Sandström (b. 1954) is among the most frequently performed Swedish composers on the international scene today. The Motorbike Concerto was the first major result of the collaboration between Sandström and the trombone virtuoso Christian Lindberg - a collaboration which has evolved over the years, to the point that Lindberg here conducts the Iceland Symphony Orchestra in four works reflecting Sandström's trajectory as composer for orchestra, from Éra (1979-80) to Ocean Child in its revised 2004 version. In Sandström's music, different compositional strands co-exist: Eastern philosophy, minimalism and the world of serialism were early influences, and for many years Sandström also worked in the field of spectral music.

International Record Review
"Lindberg and the Iceland Symphony Orchestra play as if they've had this music in their veins all their lives: it is projected with complete confidence and naturalness, despite the complexity of the textures. All the music is approachable, even the hulking Éra, and the Herrgårdssägen Suite deserves to be genuinely popular. I enjoyed this CD enormously.

Fanfare
Sandström... does have personal imagination that puts his stamp on whatever he decides to be the subject of a piece... He's definitely an entertainer, but one who possesses real personal integrity.
