Anders Ericson
Anders Ericson is a freelance luteplayer and recording producer based in Stockholm.
Anders was born in Karlsborg, Sweden where he started playing classical and electric guitar at the age of 8. He took up the Baroque lute aged 17, and studied lute and continuo at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm and at the College of Music in Malmö. Anders has received several major grants from the Royal Academy of Music in Stockholm.
Anders has performed in more than 30 countries, including Australia, Japan and the African and North American continents, as well as recording CD's and appearing on national television and radio in several countries. He has accompanied prominent soloists such as Anne Sofie von Otter and Barbara Hendricks on CD. Anders appears regurlarly in opera productions, for instance at the Copenhagen Royal Opera, the Gothenburg Opera and the Drottningholm Opera. He plays continuo with Scandinavian ensembles Göteborg Baroque, Concerto Copenhagen, The Harmony of Voices, Norska Barocksolister, Drottningholm Baroque Ensemble, Tre Kronor Baroque Ensemble and Westra Aros Pipare.
Playing electric guitar and contemporary music on the lute has always been a natural counterpart to baroque music making. Anders has made many first performances of works by different composers, both in Sweden and elsewhere. He also teaches the lute in Stockholm.
As a solo lute player, Anders has put his main focus on the French Baroque lute school of the 17th century, from the early composers of accord noveau music to the fully mature style of Gallot and Mouton. Anders' first solo CD with music by Pinel, Mercure and Dufault was recorded in may 2009. Release is scheduled to later this year.
