Daniel börtz says in an interview in 1977: "I want to write emotionally honest music - if I can put such big words in my mouth. Give out everything I have of feeling inside." Then he is a young composer who already in a series of orchestral works in a completely unique way combined the legacy of Swedish modernism with a fierce love for Bruckner's late-romantic orchestral constructions. The public breakthrough comes when he collaborates with Ingmar Bergman in the opera Backanterna in 1991. Since then, Daniel Börtz has composed increasingly intuitively, with a focus on the big lines and with a finely calibrated sensitivity to the voice and to the values ​​of the text. But the big emotions and existential questions are still at the center, most recently in his sixth full-length opera Medea, where he once again returns to the Greek dramas that have long fascinated him.
