Dan Laurin

Swedish recorder virtuoso Dan Laurin (born 1960). His efforts to rediscover the sonic possibilities of the recorder have resulted in a technical facility and a style of playing that have won him numerous awards including a Swedish Grammy and the Society of Swedish Composers’ prize for the best interpretation of contemporary Swedish music. A lengthy collaboration with the Australian instrument maker Frederick Morgan resulted in a succession of reconstructions of instruments from earlier times, which has greatly enriched the world of recorder music.
