"Meet Me At The Movies" is an exhilarating journey through the history of film and film music, featuring titles from Michael Curtiz's "Casablanca" with Herman Hupfeld's "As Time Goes By" to Lars von Trier's "Dancer In The Dark" with Björk's "New World," and many more.
Viktoria Tolstoy
Artistic talent runs in the family of Swedish singer
Viktoria Tolstoy.
Her great-great-grandfather was the legendary Russian
national poet Leo Tolstoy. From a very young age on, Viktoria made her way through
the jazz clubs of Stockholm and played with leading Swedish jazz musicians like
Svante Thuresson.
In 1994, at the age of 20, she recorded her first album. Two
years later, with the album "För Älskad," she became an overnight pop
star in her homeland. This set the stage for her collaboration with Esbjörn Svensson and e.s.t. He produced and wrote songs for "White Russian,"
the first Scandinavian record released by the legendary Blue Note Label.
Nils "Mr. Red Horn" Landgren also produced and
played with her, and in 2003, she followed him and Svensson to ACT as an
exclusive artist for the label.
Since then, Tolstoy has established herself as one of the
leading voices in contemporary jazz. Crystal clear, dynamic, wild, and vibrant,
yet simultaneously prosaic and grounded, her voice is perhaps the most
brilliant of all Scandinavian singers. When Viktoria Tolstoy performs a song,
she doesn't just interpret it; she shapes and molds it in a unique way.
