Bengt Forsberg

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 was born on July 26, 1952, in Edleskog, Sweden.

He moved abroad for further study, working with Herman D. Koppel in Copenhagen and Peter Feuchtwanger in London. ...
