Anders Nilsson

(Suède - Sweden)

Anders Nilsson was born in Stockholm on 6th July 1954, he has worked as an improvisation musician and composer musician with the Swedish National Theatre Centre and the Stockholm City Theatre.

He studied music at Birkagarden Folk High School, Stockholm and, later on, studied composition with Gunnar Bucht at the State College of Music in Stockholm. There followed several lessons with Sven-David Sandstrom and the visiting lecturer Brian Ferneyhough. In the summer of 1983 Anders Nilsson also took part in summer courses in France (Aix-en Provence), where he derived several important impulses from Luciano Berio. He spent the autumn of 1984 in Paris. He has been on the board of the Swedish section of ISCM since 1986.

In his very first successful works, he displayed a personal capacity for vigorously conveying an abundance of emotion, fluctuating between contemplation and great floods of feeling - dramatic, exalted. He has emerged with a tonal language rooted in the later Romantic period and early twentieth-century modernism, but with an unmistakably contemporary touch. His orchestration is skilful and sophisticated, above all in the suite Trois pièces pour grand orchestre, which is one of the foremost achievements of the youngest generation of composers. This composition is distinguished by a command of powerful orchestral blocks together with subtly fashioned details, individual solo parts or effectively composed smaller combinations of instruments. This imparts an intimate lustre to the vigorous forms.

–Hans-Gunnar Peterson
