Active as a composer since the mid-1960s, Daniel Börtz is widely regarded today as one of the most important composers in Swedish musical history. His music has always been characterised by its simplicity and precision, which highlight the power of his emotionally charged messages.

The three works presented here share a common thread of a personal kind: the collaboration with violinist and violist Malin Broman. She has been a direct source of inspiration for all three works; First as a member of the Kungsbacka Piano Trio, later as artistic director of the string orchestra Musica Vitae, and finally as soloist in Double Concerto for One. In her various roles, she has functioned both as an interpreter and a catalyst.

About Double Concerto for One, Broman said: "An incredibly beautiful and dramatic work. Daniel's music is close to song; it feels as though you are singing when you play." The concerto is followed by Sinfonia 14, written for string orchestra alone. This large-scale, emotionally intense work features volcanic outbursts alongside moments of stillness. The Piano Trio concludes the programme with a powerful, driving opening, a deeply emotional slow middle movement, and a finale of irresistible energy.
