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...?
