På måndag tjuvstartar jag, Markus Schwartz, Mats Bergström och Svenska Stråkensemblen julen 2011 hemma i Gävle! Sen väntar 16 konserter runt om i landet. Det ska bli så vansinnigt kul! Julen är en fest och det är julen som gör det möjligt att jag får åka runt i hela Sverige och träffa publiken. På riktigt!! Vi har behållit det vi tyckte mest om från förra året men det mesta är nytt. Och även om vi fokuserar mera på julen i år än förra året så finns det förstås med lite klassik musik och opera också!! Biljetterna håller på att sälja slut – på flera platser är det redan slutsålt . Så skynda boka här !!

Monday, August 1st, 2011Opera di Fiori
Tuesday, June 21st, 2011
Last winter we had 2 CDs ready to be made. Santa Lucia and Opera di Fiori. This is the order we decided on… And after the huge success on the christmas album we wanted to create a warm summer feeling on Opera di Fiori. So we let the flowers lead the way. In the world of opera there’s no shortage of flowers… They are everywhere! From the earliest music via Carmen and Escamillo to the cotton fields of South Carolina in Porgy and Bess.
Though the album title sounds very operatic it actually hasn’t got anything to do with music! It means “flower work” or “flower arrangement”. We found this lovely group of florists in Bolsena on Facebook called Opera Dei Fiori that made the most incredible paintings out of flowers and I immediately felt like I had found my ultimate metaphor for opera singing; where you spend years or decades preparing something that only last for a few moments in time. Like a painting made of flowers.
We prepared the recordings during the winter and recorded during 3 weeks in april in Swedish Radio Studio 2 ( apart from the 2 pieces with the choir that needed the bigger Filadelfia Church).It does make a huge difference for me as an artist to be able to work at home with people who I really know and trust. So we insisted on working with the exact same team as on Santa Lucia.It’s the ultimate luxury really. And a very rare luxury too… We hope you re able to hear that on the album. Along with the flowers of course!!
The Queen of the Night

Dalhalla UTSÅLT! EXTRAKONSERT 30 juli
Tuesday, June 14th, 2011Äntligen dags att presentera årets gäster : Cecilia Zilliacus är Sveriges främsta violinist sen flera år tillbaka. Hon tillhör dom få av våra soliststjärnor som nått riktigt långt på den internationella scenen. Cecilia har hela världen som sin arbetsplats. Georg Riedel är en av våra största, genreöverskridande musikartister. Jazzlegendar. Kompositör, klassisk musiker och en av våra mest folkkära låtskrivare med så gott som hela Astrid Lindgrens visskatt på sitt samvete… Gitarristen Mats Bergström – min ständiga följeslagare – behöver egentligen ingen presentation. Man kan säga så här: utan Mats ingen Malena… Årets sångare är den australiska counter-tenoren David Hansen ( missa inte hans otroligt coola hemsida!) som jag har sjungit med flera gånger i bl a Wien och Köpenhamn, där David numera är bosatt. Och sist men inte minst Borlängetjejen Hanna Husahr som är en otroligt spännande ung sopran som i höst börjar sin utlandskarriär på Helsingfors Operan ( precis som jag en gång gjorde…) Hanna medverkar också i Dalhalla Operas konsertversion av Kärleksdrycken. Biljetter HÄR!!
