A musician of uncommon versatility, Gunnar Idenstam happily acknowledges Swedish folk music and dance influences as well as the symphonic rock of the 1970s. + But whether collaborating with Sami traditional singers or folk musicians Idenstam is firmly grounded in the virtuosic French organ tradition he studied in France with the legendary Marie-Claire Alain. + It was while in Paris that he first dreamt of transferring Debussy’s La Mer to the organ. + It now appears here with his Ravel transcriptions.
