3rd listen. Oh wait... there's this beautiful amazing thing I have forgotten that I wanted to show you... it's over here?

Eight years later his symphony orchestra piece “Dreams” was performed at Berwaldhallen in Stockholm. At the age of 22, Wolgers became the youngest student at The Royal Academy of Music to accomplish that.
This is a bit confusing; many great composers have studied at the RAM and I'm sure there are lots who have had compositions performed by symphony orchestras when they were younger than 22. If the accomplishment is that he is the youngest person to have a symphony orchestra piece called "Dreams" performed at Berwalhhallen in Stockholm - well, that's quite a niche brag!

Nice to hear something different.

And one of him is more than enough.

Wonder why one needs to compare an artist with another. Don't understand.
Well the intention is likely innocent enough - possibly complimentary. For myself, being moved by this song, I'm grateful for the 'comparisons' so I can also look for the other artists work. I have the capacity to hear and feel the differences, as the tone - or atmosphere - is what I find compelling, and I'd like to discover more! :)

Some people like to categorise music into genres - prog, punk, funk, pop, Baroque, Serialism etc. Personally I don't see a lot of crossover here with Einaudi - I suppose both composers rely on pedal point and ostinato, but where I find Einaudi dull, bland and unengaging I warm to Teodor Wolgers.

A bit like Ludovico Einaudi...?

Wow this piece sounded like a movie sound track to me.

It is unfortunate that some comments are off-handed remarks about what is perceived as background music while performing other tasks. I feel that ART deserves a bit more than a passing nod or shrug when offering a review.
I have experienced an incredibly diverse range music from countless performers and genres since the '60s to the present, from garages to bars, the Agora (both of them), Nautica, The Coliseum, Cleveland Stadium (World Series of Rock) to Blossom, a dozen arenas to Severance Hall, Memorial Hall, Music Hall and countless unlikely venues in between and around the country.
I marvel at the talent and creativity of every artist as though they are right there in front of my eyes and ears. It can be a very different experience with a good or a great sound system. Imagine how it would be live...
Then I hear a new work on RP. Absolutely. Musical. Paradise.
From this Cleveland native, transplanted into a phenomenal music and theater scene in Cincinnati, this work is priceless, like most others... especially when "experienced" as a live performance.
