Karin Rehnqvist is undoubtedly one of Sweden's most innovative and interesting artists. About the piece David's Nimm, which was based on a Polish she had sung onto tape and then played backwards, the Dutch journalist Oswin Schneeweisz wrote: "Among all the Berio clones and Ferneyhough epigones in contemporary music, it is exceedingly rare that a composer with a sound all his own." The folk music influences have followed throughout the years, as has her unpretentious personality.
She was the first woman in the composition class at the Academy of Music, and thus her connection to feminism became almost inevitable - a connection she did not shy away from, even though her goal had always been to write music that she perceived as artistically honest.
The book about Karin Rehnqvist is part of the series of portraits of Swedish composers published by King. The Musical Academy and Gidlund's publishing house.
