Danielsson, Lars - Libera Me

---

---

"For me it was always natural to bind my own music with the sounds of classical music", notes Danielsson about the repertoire on this SACD. His objective in orchestration he describes as follows: "When I arrange, I think more about the approach that classical composers would take for voicings, rather than jazz arrangers." As his absolute favourite arranger he picks Claus Ogerman, another who is equally at home in classical and jazz environments (and took part in Diana Krall's successful release "The Look Of Love"). Meanwhile for playing and composing he is particularly inspired by Johann Sebastian Bach, "the master of the walking bass".

With "Libera me" Lars Danielsson stands not between, but rather, through his heart and his bass, totally absorbed in the various musical worlds of his career to date. All comes together to created an organic rounded whole - in which it is quickly clear that the orchestra is not just an accessory. A musical self-portrait in many colours.
