Singer / Musician / Composer / Songwriter of Classical
Dag Achatz is a Swedish virtuoso pianist and composer. His recording for BIS of his own transcription for solo piano of Igor Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring is widely acknowledged[by whom?] to be one of the great recordings of the 20th century.[citation needed] Leonard Bernstein asked him to transcribe his ballet Fancy Free, which Achatz then recorded along with his own transcription of Bernstein's Symphonic Dances from West Side Story.Outside the established classical music world, he also worked on stage with French singer-songwriter Léo Ferré, during the mid-1970s.
