Lasse Lindgren writes of his new release: "Spirits 1 was a tribute to Maynard Ferguson, one of my great trumpet heroes. We were able to record this thanks to my very good friend and manager Ernie Garside and my "Big Constellation". When it became apparent that Ernie was in possession of a large collection of unrecorded MF-material, the idea was born for a follow-up album. It turned out to be a brilliant mix of arrangements that was not only enough for one but even a double album and so I thought, OK why not? My goal is to play the music in my own way, in a personal, creative process. I am not trying to be MF or copy him, which would be both impossible and uninteresting. I just want to be myself and, together with wonderful fellow- musicians, help to keep the music alive, as it rightly deserves. Maynard was often called "The Fox", so here it is - SPIRITS 2 - THE UNRECORDED FOX."

Bach: Tenor Arias Johann Sebastian Bach wrote more than 200 cantatas. This recording explores a selection of 12 tenor arias from his cantatas, ranging in instrumentation from rich tutti orchestra to intimate obbligato instruments. Leif Aruhn-Sol�n has been in demand internationally as a tenor in the field of early music for over 20 years. He is an acclaimed Evangelist and tenor soloist in Bach's oratorios and cantatas with both modern symphony orchestras as well as some of the world's foremost baroque orchestras: the Camerata of St. John, Brisbane; the Netherland Bach Society; the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra; Concerto Copenhagen; the Oslo Philharmonic; New Trinity Baroque, Atlanta. G�teborg Baroque has established itself as one of the leading Scandinavian baroque ensembles. Founded in 2003 by it's artistic director Magnus Kjellson, who conducts the ensemble from the keyboard of an organ or a harpsichord in a historically informed way, the ensemble regularly performs important and well-known works as well as re-premiering works that have been ignored or forgotten for hundreds of years. The recording was made possible thanks to a generous donation by Alfred Hagen and through the joint generosity of more than 160 individuals in an unprecedented Swedish crowdfunding campaign for a classical music recording.

Following the success of Bach: Tenor Arias (2020), tenor Leif Aruhn-Sol�n and G�teborg Baroque under the direction of Magnus Kjellson return with a new recording: Bach: Tenor Arias, Vol. 2. This album presents twelve more tenor arias from Johann Sebastian Bach's vast cantata output-a repertoire rarely heard in concert halls. With these carefully curated selections, the recording sheds new light on Bach's extraordinary vocal writing for the tenor voice and highlights gems that, despite their brilliance, have long remained in the shadow of his more familiar works. For over 25 years, Leif Aruhn-Sol�n has been in demand internationally with a special focus on baroque repertoire, and G�teborg Baroque has established itself for more than 20 years as one of Sweden's leading baroque ensembles. Together they continue their exploration of Bach's endlessly rich musical universe.
