“Most of the classical venues have a very arrogant attitude towards pop music, which is what I’m considered to be by most of them”: Nils Frahm hits out at genre snobbery

Nils Frahm.

An artist that straddles numerous different musical universes, Nils Frahm’s work has been likened to that of a classical composer - blending piano and ambient electronic minimalism with captivating effect.

But, when speaking to us in anticipation of the release of his new live-album Paris - recorded at the prestigious Philharmonie de Paris - Frahm told us that that the general attitude he senses when performing at classical venues, seems to be one of minimisation and derision.
