Duo Gelland

Duo created in 1994

Their early recordings of Cantus gemellus by Dieter Acker and the fiercely demanding one-hour-long cycle for two violins (1951) by Allan Pettersson showed the true potentials of the violin duo, inspiring many composers to turn to this medium. Characteristic for Duo Gelland's work with new music is the close collaboration with composers and the search for an individual world of sounds for each new composition approached. Duo Gelland received over 300 dedications, among them duos by: Giorgio Netti, Bernd Franke, Samuel Adler, Hans-Joachim Hespos, Daniel Asia, Alexander Keuk, Reiko Füting, Madeleine Isaksson, Birgitte Alsted, Jörgen Dafgård, Kerstin Jeppsson, Ingvar Karkoff, Maurice Karkoff, Olov Franzén, Gunnar Bucht, Carin Bartosch Edström, Rolf Martinsson, Sunleif Rasmussen, Erika Förare, Miklós Maros, Mikael Forsman, Thomas Liljeholm, Maria Lithell, Ylva Bentancor, Marsel Nichan, Sanna Ahvenjärvi, Tapio Lappalainen, Gerhard Samuel, Joey Crane, Sam Krahn, Joshua Musikantow, Tiffany M.
