Viktoria Tolstoy

Viktoria Tolstoy performs at Nefertiti in Göteborg. She is counted among Scandinavia's most brilliant vocalists - her voice is crystal clear, dynamic, and far from tame. When she sings, she does not merely interpret a song; she embodies it and makes it her own.

Her latest album "Stations" (ACT/Naxos) revolves around travel - both physical and mental - with lyrics tied to life on tour. The repertoire draws from Bonnie Raitt, Nancy Wilson, Billy Joel, and Shirley Horn, complemented by newly written material by Ida Sand and Joel Lyssarides. Blues feeling, jazz drama, and funk alternate with moving ballads.
