Eva Nordwall was born in 1944 in Uherské Hradiste in the
Moravian region of Czechoslovakia. After four years of study
in the solo piano class at the Brno Conservatoire, she came in
1963 to Sweden, where she continued her musical studies at the
State College of Music in Stockholm with Stina Sundell (piano)
and Margit Theorell (harpsichord), In 1971 she gave her first
harpsichord recital, in Stockholm, and she has subsequently
toured Sweden, the continent, and – in 1979 – Canada and the
United States. She has made many radio and television programmes
and produced several gramophone records. In 1977
one of these won the Swedish Gramophone Prize. In 1980 she
won the State major award for artists. Eva Nordwall has been a
pioneer with regard to contemporary harpsichord music, especially
the music written for the Instrument in its various baroque
manifestations.
