Dan Laurin

Dan Laurin (January 19, 1960 in Jönköping, Sweden) is a Swedish recorder player.

Laurin studied under Ulla Wijk, Paul Nauta and Eva Legêne[1] at the Conservatories of Odense and Copenhagen from 1976 to 1982.

Commissions include recorder concertos by Daniel Börtz, Henrik Strindberg, Fredrick Österling, as well as by Chiell Meijering, Vito Palumbo and Christofer Elgh.

Laurin is a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Music, and in 2001 he received the medal Litteris et Artibus from the King of Sweden.

Laurin collaborated with the Australian instrument maker Fred Morgan[2] to advance recorder design, resulting in a succession of reconstructions of instruments from earlier times, including an instrument that was designed specifically for Laurin's 9-CD recording of Jacob van Eyck's monumental Der Fluyten Lust-hof.
