Mattias Schulstad is a Swedish classical guitarist, whose playing is described by Gramophone magazine as "refined, intelligent and highly musical."
In 2023, Mattias Schulstad released his second full-length album, The Guitar Player. The album is named after Vermeer's eponymous painting from 1672, and connects beloved works for the classical guitar with traditional Swedish songs in new arrangements for the guitar.
In its review, AllMusic writes: "Schulstad's playing has a quiet refinement throughout, and the listener willing to enter into a contemplative frame of mind will reap big rewards here."
The album's final track, <a href="spotify:artist:5aIqB5nVVvmFsvSdExz408" data-name="Johann Sebastian Bach">Johann Sebastian Bach</a>'s prelude BWV 999, features, according to Pulitzer-winner Tim Page: "Immaculate and sensitive playing that takes a listener to the heart of Bach's music."
BBC Radio 3 stated: "Mattias calls it 'premium grade Bach.' And he says he hopes to present it as a piece of music, not just an exercise. And we think you succeeded."
Mattias Schulstad's full-length recording debut, Invocación, introduced the notion in recent history that <a href="spotify:artist:7y97mc3bZRFXzT2szRM4L4" data-name="Frédéric Chopin">Frédéric Chopin</a> influenced the guitar as we know it today. The album is named Editor's Choice by Gramophone, which calls it "an outstanding debut," and is described by MusicWeb International as "a scoop."
