Biography:
Internationally acclaimed clarinetist Håkan Rosengren has performed as soloist, recitalist and chamber musician all over Europe, the United States, Israel, Brazil and Asia—from Berlin, Beijing and Bratislava, to Tel Aviv, Vilnius and Warsaw.
In his native Sweden and other Nordic countries, Rosengren has repeatedly performed as soloist with nearly every major orchestra, including the Helsinki Philharmonic, Swedish Radio Symphony, Royal Stockholm Philharmonic, Odense Symphony, Nordic Chamber Orchestra, Helsingborg Symphony, Royal Swedish Chamber Orchestra, Norrköping Symphony, Southern Jutland Symphony, Jönköping Symphony Orchestra, Umeå Sinfonietta and Malmö Symphony, among others.
Rosengren’s concerto solo performances in Europe have taken him to the Lausanne Chamber Orchestra, Lithuanian National Symphony, Prague Philharmonic, Lisbon Metropolitan Orchestra, Porto Chamber Orchestra, Amadeus Chamber Orchestra, Slovakia Radio Symphony, Aukso Chamber Orchestra, Poznan Philharmonic and Polish Chamber Philharmonic, among others. Elsewhere, he has appeared with the Los Angeles Mozart Orchestra, Minas Gerais Symphony (Brazil), Savannah Symphony, Akron Symphony, Asheville Symphony, Texas Festival Orchestra, Midland-Odessa Symphony, New West Symphony, Israeli Chamber Orchestra and Taegu Symphony Orchestra.
Rosengren’s 1985 debut solo performance in Carl Nielsen’s Concerto for Clarinet and Orchestra with the Swedish Radio Symphony led to his recording the work for Sony Classical with Esa-Pekka Salonen, a recording hailed by Fanfare Magazine as a “most sensitive, wide-ranging accounts of concerto ever recorded.” His recordings of concertos by Carl Maria von Weber and Bernhard Crusell with the Swedish Radio Symphony, Nordic Chamber Orchestra and the North Czech Philharmonic (on Musica Sveciae and SMS Classical) have been likewise called “masterful.”
