By the CD here

'Contains a series of gentle pieces both new and older where one seems to recognize the most part - Brahms, Scriabin, Ravel, Bach, folk music - but still often have to look in the album cover to check.  Bertil Alving manage to get a relatively simple grand piano that almost sound like it stood the kingdom of heaven. "

WARUM?

Warum contains small masterpieces by the great composers such as Brahms, Schumann and Scriabin. Also included are improvisations on Swedish folk songs.

 

The disc does not contain the most common music, which we already know and have clear impression of. Instead, it provides the opportunity for new musical discoveries. Maybe there will be a small masterpiece of Poulenc, Brahms, Sibelius or Hallnäs who will be your next favorite? 

The album is currently used by many music therapists around the country. Audio enthusiasts are also in favor of this disc's music and sound.
