”In my musical language, one finds the concrete sounds of nature, animals and the urban environment. The sounds are musicalized in symbiosis with the music instruments of humans.”
The music of Marie Samuelsson has been recognized as sensual, in newly formed sonorous beauty and exciting rhythm. Samuelsson was inducted into the Royal Swedish Academy of Music in 2005. She has received prominent awards, Ingvar Lidholm Award, the Bo Wallner Memorial Award and 2023 the large Christ Johnson Award for The Crane’s Beak, (Brandnäva), a double concerto for guitar, violin and orchestra.
”Physicality, Intellect, Rhythm, Force of Personality—these have been the defining aspects, the watchwords, of Marie Samuelsson’s music hitherto. Love now needs to be added to the list.” Guy Rickards in Gramophone and The Love Trilogy cd 6/6 stars 2019: ”The music of Swedish composer Marie Samuelsson is nothing if not strong on emotion and character, immediate in impact and memorable long after the final notes have died away.” https://www.klassiskmusikk.com
