Erik Bergman

Erik Bergman dived into many different styles until arriving at a personal idiom, in which tone colours and the search for new expressive means played an important role. He had a deep interest in distant cultures and was untiring in his search for the new.

Bergman composed big orchestra works and solo concertos, but the human voice never ceased to fascinate him. Choral music stands out in his output, and he regarded his opera as a synthesis of the various techniques employed over the years.
