	Magnus Lindberg in interview with Marc Bridle
		The Finnish composer Magnus Lindberg, three days older than his immediate contemporary Esa-Pekka Salonen, with whom he is programming a festival of his own music on the South Bank, is now one of the leading composer’s of his generation.
		Charismatic, and with a rigorous intellectual streak in conversation, it might on the surface be difficult to equate Lindberg the man with Lindberg the composer.
		Magnus Lindberg is a man of many masks: a composer whose compositions stretch from classicism to neo-punk, a teacher and concert programmer, a pianist and conductor.

	Lindberg Concerto
		Magnus Lindberg wrote his first piece for cello in 1979, a piece for solo cello that has never been performed as it was written; due to technical problems, the piece needs at least two performers.
		Lindberg may be famous for speed and brilliance, but here showed that he is capable of writing slow music of real power and individuality.
		Lindberg's Cello Concerto, which had just been given its world premiere by Salonen and the Toimii cellist Anssi Karttunen in Paris three weeks ago was on the program in Libbey Bowl with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and it was more virtuosic still.

	Music Note - Brahms
		Magnus Lindberg's Sonatas for Violin and Piano, a 12-minute work of bold, dramatic, and audacious character, was composed in 1979.
		Lindberg also explores acoustical relationships between the instruments, as with violin pitches which arise out of dissonant clusters that are released gradually in the piano part.
		Magnus Lindberg was born in Finland in 1958.

	Magnus Lindberg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Magnus Lindberg (born June 27, 1958) is a Finnish composer.

	Concerto for Piano and Orchestra, Magnus Lindberg
		Magnus Lindberg : Concerto for Piano and Orchestra
		Lindberg says that he has written the first slow movement of his composing career, but he is doubtful as to whether anyone will notice, since even there the piano is blazing away in top gear.
		Lindberg has made use of similar distillations of motion on previous occasions, for instance in Sculpture II and Kraft but rather than a single sound, we arrive at a sonorous harmonic state.

	The Ensemble Sospeso - Magnus Lindberg (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Magnus Lindberg studied composition at the Sibelius Academy in his native Finland, as well as privately in Paris with Gérard Grisey and Vinko Globokar; he also attended courses of Franco Donatoni and Brian Ferneyhough.
		Lindberg’s music is oustanding in its incorporation of a wide variety of twentieth century techniques—serialism, electronics, pastiche, spectralism, neoclassicism—within a coherent oeuvre.
		Lindberg has gradually moved from electronic sound to a reinterpretation of conventional harmony and form.

	Andrew Clements meets Finnish composer Magnus Lindberg \| \| guardian.co.uk Arts
		Magnus Lindberg has never lived in Britain, but the Finnish composer and his music are such regular visitors here he seems to have become an honorary member of the new-music establishment.
		Lindberg repays that support, too - I talked to him while he was at Snape Maltings earlier this month for the Britten-Pears School's contemporary composition and performance course at which he regularly teaches alongside Oliver Knussen and Colin Matthews.
		Hearing a recording of the new violin concerto that Lisa Batiashvili is introducing next week, I remarked to Lindberg on the luxuriance of the sound world that he manages to extract from an orchestra of such modest proportions.

	Magnus Lindberg — Virtual Finland
		Lindberg's popularity is founded on old-fashioned virtues and professionalism: he simply knows more than most about writing for the orchestra.
		Lindberg, a product of Helsinki's Sibelius Academy, absorbed a large dose of European Modernism along with his mother's milk and his aesthetic is the aesthetic of the Post-Serialist tradition: no melody, no tonality, not even polyphony in the conventional sense of the word.
		Lindberg's music is definitely not rock, but it does resonate with the dynamic of the urban world, and with the pulse beat of violence, too.

	Magnus Lindberg: Aura, Engine: Classical CD Reviews-August 2000 Music on the Web(UK)
		Lindberg chooses unlikely combinations (trumpet against piano, high winds against xylophone, scurrying strings with metal sheets in attendance) or blends various instruments to form a consort invoking far-away panoramas.
		Lindberg's language is approachable (melodic cells feed and develop Aura's discourse) and there's plenty of surface activity with rapid contrasts of colour.
		Lindberg's studies at IRCAM have, he believes, led him paradoxically to greater freedom because of the construction of those constraints.

	Toimii Ensemble, Magnus Lindberg, piano, Esa-Pekka Salonen
		These performances are well characterised… Lindberg brings fine shades of colour and tone to bear on the generally forceful solo part of the piano concerto, and the recording is excellent.
		Magnus Lindberg's seminal work, Kraft (1985), is not likely to make you friends with your neighbours.
		Lindberg here plays his own Piano Concerto (1990-94), a substantial half-hour work that is both beguiling and dazzling where Kraft is mean and moody.

	Related Rocks, Magnus Lindberg
		Magnus Lindberg freely admits that the gestation of Related Rocks was not easy.
		Despite the relatively complex procedures used to produce the piece, Lindberg was keen for the technical apparatus to remain simple during performance.
		Magnus Lindberg wrote this work with the Ictus piano-percussion quartet in mind, a group he met in Brussels at a concert devoted to his music in 1996.

	BBC - Proms - Magnus Lindberg (born 1958) - Clarinet Concerto (2002)
		In the case of Magnus Lindberg’s Clarinet Concerto (2002), the composer’s long friendship with the brilliant Finnish clarinettist Kari Kriikku was a decisive factor.
		As Lindberg began to work on the score, he was able to deliver pages to Kriikku by boat.
		But one can hear the beginnings of a melody stirring here, and one of the most thrilling features of Lindberg’s concerto is the way these phrases gradually blossom into a fully fledged tune, emerging in full solar glory in the key of B flat major at the work’s final climax.

	He's dropped the chains, but not the vision - The Boston Globe
		Magnus Lindberg composes with an intoxicating sense of freedom
		When asked about his journey, Lindberg concedes the evolution in his style but is quick to add that his fundamental approach has not changed.
		A fuller Lindberg portrait would include the seminal "Kraft" and other works for orchestra, but this tasting menu at least suggests the arc of an important composer who has tempered his radicalism without reining in his imagination.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Music: Magnus Lindberg: Clarinet Concerto; Gran Duo; Chorale, Kari Kriikku, CD
		Magnus Lindberg certainly comes near the top of the list of today's eminent Finns, and while some of his most talented contemporaries have left their homeland -- Kaija Saariaho for Paris, Esa-Pekka Salonen for Los Angeles -- Lindberg remains strongly connected to his nation even as his international profile has risen sharply.
		Even though Magnus Lindberg's music is densely textured, highly varied, and unpredictable, and as complex, dissonant, and explosive as the wildest avant-garde music, it is often surprisingly pleasant, accessible, and exciting, particularly so in the kaleidoscopic and insanely colorful "Clarinet Concerto" (2002).
		This spectacular piece may serve as the best introduction to Lindberg's extremely virtuosic, multilayered music, especially because the focus on a single line instrument clarifies many of Lindberg's procedures and ideas -- which can often seem buried in his thicker orchestral works -- and highlights them in vivid relief against the elaborate and lush accompaniment.

	From Finland, Magnus Lindberg's Contemporary Music Feast - New York Times
		Magnus Lindberg, the plucky 47-year-old Finnish composer, is a major presence in Europe, though his music is heard too rarely in the United States.
		Lindberg was eager to escape from the giant shadow cast by the namesake of his conservatory, and accordingly the piece opens with a primal yawp shouted by the players onstage and ends with whispered nonsense syllables and metal chains being dragged on a tabletop.
		Lindberg fans have more to look forward to this summer when Mostly Mozart presents the world premiere of his Violin Concerto, on Aug. 22.

		Esa-Pekka Salonen is the driving force behind Sony’s recent commitment to the middle generation of Finnish composers and he marshals the huge orchestral forces effortlessly, majestically sculpting Lindberg’s blocks of sound.
		Lindberg’s mile-high chords register startlingly in a recording of great sonic range and depth; the clean focus ensures that complex textures never seem cluttered.

	Engine, Magnus Lindberg
		Then, with his great work Kraft, Lindberg began to be interested in rhythm and attempted to organise its formal principles.
		But Engine proves the consequential nature of Lindberg's musical language; not only does it fit into the continuity of his last works, but it also refers us back, with this friction which breaks up the surface of sound, to the "brutiste" works like UR and Kraft.
		Engine brings counterpoint back up to date in Lindberg's musical vocabulary, a counterpoint which allows the music to live in symbiosis with the rules and constraints imposed by the composer.

	Magnus Lindberg and Anssi Karttunen concert
		His music is helping to define a new classical language, winning converts around the globe through performances by the world's great orchestras and numerous recordings on Sony, DG and other labels.
		Lindberg's collaborator for more than 20 years, cellist Karttunen, has been called "mesmerizing," "an ultramodern world-class virtuoso," his playing imbued with "an improvisatory quality that veritably sparkles." Less well known, perhaps, is the fact that Lindberg himself is also a formidable pianist.
		After attending the Sibelius Academy in his native Finland, composer Lindberg studied with Gérard Grisey and Vinko Globokar in Paris and attended courses given by Franco Donatoni (Siena) and Brian Ferneyhough (Darmstadt).
