Peter Bengtson composer organist

“...Bengtson erweist sich als ausserordentliche dramatische Begabung...”
– Frankfurter Allgemeine

“...Bengtson, one of Sweden's leading young composers, comes from a theatrical family, which perhaps accounts for his leaning towards music drama... a strikingly individual voice.”
– The Times/Opera World

“Mr. Bengtson's astringent music heightens the tension, the characterizations, and the confusion arising from this role-playing.”
- Wall Street Journal
