"Once every now and then one hears a song about love that suddenly makes one realize just how seldom songs express what love really is. On Dobrogosz and Christoffersson's second album together there are several such songs... the best I've heard in a very, very long time" - Martin Nyström, DN

"One always hopes to find new albums and songs that, for a while, make all other music fade away. Starlit is such a song... Their musical expression has been refined, and the amazingly sensitive interaction between them has deepened... songs that go directly to the heart" - Dan Backman, SvD

Update November

It's impossible to express enough thanks to all the wonderful people in Japan who worked so hard on making the concerts there such a success and who've helped bring my music to that most special country. I hope to repay everyone with a big choral piece in Japanese : ) Domo arigato gozaimasu: Kyota, Rie, Kiyoshi, Masayo, Aki, Yuri, Yoshiyuki - too many to name here but you know who you are - and the hundreds of others involved onstage and behind the scenes. Unforgettable.

There will be some YouTube videos from the Japanese concerts up soon. Here are a couple rehearsals (pieces from Gospels) I had fun at : )

I'll be recording a solo piano CD of Beatles songs (a la Steve) early next year : )

My largest (and one of my best) work My Rose will be recorded in February in Holland with conductor Anne Sollie and his Opus group, who did such a great job with Requiem there last year.

Unreleased tracks from my Poems collection that I recorded with singer Annika Skoglund in the late 90s will be available soon as an EP on iTunes.

These CDs are now up at many iTunes stores: EBONY MOON, CHAMBERS, MASS, FAIRY TALES, IT'S ALWAYS YOU, RIVERTIME

My son Jonathan's great new smooth-jazz CD - check it out! It has deservedly been getting good airplay on many smooth-jazz stations.

The Swedish choir Non Silentium, led by Urban Westerlund, has recorded beautiful version of Te Deum on their new CD. Link here.

Mass has now been performed in 30 countries. Upcoming performances include Austria, USA, Italy, Norway, Germany, Japan and South Korea.

Underway: a series of song duets with text from the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu

A collection of my "crossover" pieces for voice is now published under the name Vocals. This will put all my non-jazz/pop vocal songwriting into two volumes (Poems being the other).

Demos of my two concertos and symphony are now up in their entirety here.

Hannah Holgersson's solo CD Free Voc contain 2 Dobrogosz pieces, Amen and Omnia Vincit Amor.

One of my personal favorites, but not-yet-performed Ode On A Grecian Urn, for soprano solo and orchestra, set to the John Keats poem, is up now as a demo here.
A light-hearted piano piece: Sonatina Aisuru is now included in the For Piano collection. An arrangement for 4-handed piano of my jazz piece Down South.

The Uranienborg Vokalensemble in Olso has recorded a superb version of Salve Regina on their first CD, Våkenetter.
