Mats Lidström

Mats Lidström is a versatile Swedish cellist known for his rich interpretations and dynamic collaborations across classical music. With a career spanning solo performances, chamber music, and orchestral roles, he’s carved out a reputation for blending technical precision with expressive depth. His recent projects, like the charmingly titled *BACH IN THE BARN* album, showcase his knack for breathing fresh life into timeless works (yes, literally recorded in a barn!), while releases like *Shostakovich: Trios 1 & 2* and *Rachmaninov: Piano Trios* highlight his flair for dramatic, emotionally charged repertoire. A sought-after educator, Lidström has also held teaching positions at institutions like the Royal College of Music in London, sharing his passion for cello with the next generation. Whether he’s diving into Brahms, reimagining opera themes in his *Rigoletto Fantasy*, or serving up eclectic compilations like the *Smörgåsbord* series, Lidström’s work reflects both his curiosity and his dedication to the cello’s endless possibilities.
