Walcott/ Falk/ Gross - Melancholy Dreams

With eight albums on dB Productions since 2005, guitarist Mårten Falk is one of the most recorded artists on this label. His solo albums have been internationally praised, not least by Classical Guitar Magazine. This time his wife, soprano Ingrid Falk, joins him, as well as Åsa Karlberg and the Swedish Soloist Prize winner Per Gross (recorder) in 20th and 21st Century music by some of Sweden's most celebrated woman composers. They range from Sweden's grand old lady Carin Malmlöf-Forssling (1916-2005) to young Andrea Tarrodi (born 1981), whose string quartets won Sweden's most prestigious music award in 2018, the Swedish Grammis Award ("Classical Album of the Year). Swedish guitarist Mårten Falk studied at the Conservatory of the Ecole Normale de Musique de Paris under Alberto Ponce. He has toured across Europe, Asia, and North America, and collaborates with composers from all over the world.
