The repertoire ranges from the famous Peer Gynt music with the Berliner Philharmoniker under Herbert von Karajan, where “many subtleties of colour and texture are revealed by the vividly present recording” (Penguin Guide), From Holberg’s Time, the brilliant Piano Concerto in A minor, Symphonic Dances, Lyric Pieces with Mikhail Pletnev whose “performances are of special calibre, at once scrupulous and sensitive” (Gramophone), Nordic Melodies with Göteborgs Symfoniker under Neeme Järvi to songs on which “von Otter commands an exceptionally wide range of colour and quality” (Penguin Guide).
