If music has no soul, it is nothing. For the master of harmony on bass and cello, its power lies in the melody; it is the seed, the energy center from which everything unfolds. There are surely only a few bassists on this planet who compose so sensitively and in the truest sense of the word "beautiful," only a few who arrange with such impeccable taste. The masterfully assembled Liberetto ensemble gives Lars Danielsson the greatest freedom to express himself and create music that is, above all, a source of enjoyment.

Lars Danielsson

The Swedish cellist and bassist Lars Danielsson (born 1958) possesses a distinctive sound shaped by both his heritage and classical training. Danielsson is one of the most sought-after bassists worldwide and has played with an extensive list of international stars, including Michael and Randy Brecker, John Scofield, and Charles Lloyd. His singing, warm, melodic, highly refined tone is recognizable within seconds. His music as a leader is characterized by his unique talent for simple yet compelling melodies, his sense of sounds and arrangements, and his knack for special line-ups. He collaborates with renowned musicians like Leszek Mozdzer, Tigran, Magnus Öström, Arve Henriksen, Bugge Wesseltoft, Nils Petter Molvaer, Eivind Aarset, Jan Bang, Eric Harland, and many others who frequently contribute to Danielsson's albums.
