Born
in Sweden, the pianist Inger Södergren was awarded a grant by the
Stockholm Royal Academy of Music to continue
her studies in France with Nadia Boulanger
and Yvonne Lefébure.
She then embarked on an international career, proving herself to be a
musician of exceptional talent and originality.
Inger Södergren shows real flair and insight in her interpretations
of the works of great composers such as Beethoven,
Schumann and
Brahms. Her
recordings - exclusively for Calliope - have been unanimously hailed by
the critics and showered with awards ¯ «Diapason dOr
», « Choc » du monde de la musique, grand prix du disque
Charles Cros etc
.
Inger Södergren's greatest gift lies in her capacity for revealing
hidden treasures in works the listener thought he knew so well. You must
listen to her and listen again. For she introduces the listener to rare
moods. She commits herself to the music. Inger Södergren remains
completely oblivious to fashions and trends. She is not afraid to proclaim
her love of pathos. She allows herself to be guided by her intuition.
The listener is not taken by force, but is left free to follow her in
her conquest, if he so desires. An attitude that is both precious and
worthy of respect.
She appears at the great piano venues and takes part in various prestigious
concert series: in Paris
"Piano quatre étoiles" and "Les grands concerts"
at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, "Les grands
interprètes" at the Salle Gaveau; concerts at the Théâtre
du Châtelet; in France:
festival La Roque d'Antheron, festivals Radio-France and in Montpellier;
in Holland:
recitals in Amsterdam Concertgebouw, in
Portugal: Lisboa Gulbenkian fondation; in
Japan: Tokyo Bunka Kaikan etc.. She just release
a new recording of Beethoven sonates
"Waldstein" and "Les adieux" for Calliope.
Since 1994, she is also the partner of
the contralto Nathalie Stutzmann, with whom
she has recorded (for RCA Victor red seal) Lieder
by Schumann (Japan Record Academy Award) and
Brahms, and
songs by Chausson and Poulenc.
