About Bengt Forsberg

Born

Genre

Classical

Pianist Bengt Forsberg is perhaps best known for his work as an accompanist to mezzo-soprano Anne Sofie von Otter. He also performs chamber music and solo piano music, and in the latter area, he is recognized for unearthing and performing neglected repertory. Forsberg's recording debut came in 1988, backing Ilona Maros on the album Swedish Contemporary Vocal Music. Foremost among his collaborations has been that with von Otter; their recording association began in 1989 with an album of songs by Jan Sibelius and has continued prolifically. In 2018, von Otter and Forsberg released the multinational recital A Simple Song. In 2020, Forsberg backed cellist Andreas Brantelid on the album Russian Tales: Myaskovsky, Glazunov. After a pandemic pause, he returned in 2024 as part of a chamber group on an album of works by composer Marcelle de Manziarly. By that time, Forsberg's recording catalog comprised some 50 items.
