Ostlund / Brakhman / Grynyuk - Voyages [CD]

Jonathan Ostlund is a Swedish composer who has recently been living in London. He has manifested an avid interest for music from an early age and has pursued his passion with a BA and MA in Composition at the Luleo Tekniska Universitet, in Sweden. He has studied under the artistic guidance of Prof. Rolf Martinsson, Prof. Jan Sandstrom and Prof. Sverker Jullander, among others, and has so far completed approximately 80 works, including several orchestral pieces and a Piano Concerto, and has been awarded many prizes in international competitions. This second double album was issued in digital download only in March 2019 and is now available in a physical format as well. It is similar to the previous album 'Lunaris' in that it features orchestral, vocal, instrumental and chamber music with inspiration from nature, in an even wider variety than on the previous release. A team of top European soloists (several of whom also gave the world premieres of these works) were gathered to record this album. Ostlund's music is very accessible and tonal and often full of wit and humor, and always atmospheric.
