Duo – Organ & Piano – Paganini duel (Audio)

Duo – Organ & Piano

Jonas Karlsson – Organ / Fredrik Hermansson – Piano

On this audio recording, you can hear excerps from a live duel in improvisation. This is recorded on Frösön/Sweden in 2007, and we are using the well known theme by Paganini. 

My colleague Fredrik is sitting at the piano, and I am playing the organ. 

Organ & Piano – Duo

Since 2006, I have given concerts together with the Swedish pianist Fredrik Hermansson, from Eskilstuna. Fredrik Hermansson is a classical pianist – and he is a former rock star from the band Pain of Salvation. Fredrik has also studied jazz piano. 

We have always ended our concert programs with a duel in improvisation. Using the well known theme by Paganini. Never knowing how the duel will end.

Mixing classical solo music (by Bach, Rachmaninov and other composers) with film music (in duo) and playing fun music, we have always made a great success on our concerts. On the concerts, we always use humour as a weapon.

The reviews from our concerts have been overwhelmingly positive – and they have often written words as: ”Artistery at the highest level”.
