The ongoing Swedish Style event in Tokyo covers everything from architecture to aromatherapy. The music alone, however, merits our full attention.

For starters, the world-renowned classical pianist Per Tengstrand will hold a recital at the Swedish Embassy on Oct. 25. Winner of the 1997 Cleveland International Piano Competition and Steinway's official pianist, Tengstrand is no newcomer to Japan, where he has performed with the Tokyo and Osaka symphony orchestras and held solo recitals to great acclaim at Tokyo's Suntory Hall. He is a sensitive virtuoso, with a repertoire ranging from Bach to contemporary works, and has a fluid energy that complements the classical grandeur of Mozart and Beethoven. This concert, which is free of charge, is a rare event in Tokyo, and reservations are highly recommended.

Traditional folk music performed by innovative violinists Byorn Stabi and Lisa Rydberg and wildlife food specialties from Lapland prepared by Chef Johan Gunnarstedt combine in "Violin and Wild Life," a "music and food clinic" at the Swedish Embassy Auditorium on Oct. 22. Stabi, an established folk-music legend in his 50s, and Rydberg, a 19-year-old national prodigy, join producer Manne von Ahn Oberg, a native Laplander and former pop music producer in Los Angeles, for this unusual event that will delight both ears and palate.

It's hard to imagine Sweden as the "home of the blues," but the Sweet Jazz Trio transports us to the bluesy, blue-green forests and mysterious twilight of Scandinavia with their own, very Swedish style of jazz. Tonight and tomorrow, jazz producer and founder of the Arietta Label Peter Nordahl presents Sweet Jazz Trio members Lasse Tornqvist (cornet), Mats Larsson (guitar) and Hans Backenroth (double bass) in two free concerts filled with some of the finest jazz Scandinavia has ever produced. Honed on the jazz of Chet Baker and Miles Davis, the trio's renditions of traditional folk songs and ballads are original, melancholic and as "cool" as Sweden's arctic nights.

Beyond jazz and classical favorites, the Swedish Style program boasts a wide range of experimental music and happenings. Till Oct. 18, the pristine New Tokyo Lifestyle Roppongi Think Zone will be filled with cutting-edge dance, art, video, photography and live performances by experimental saxophonist Dror Feiller and dance by Kenneth Kvarnstrom.

Airplane Label is sponsoring three nights of noise, experimental music, art and dance Oct. 21-23, featuring Japanese artists Jun Kawabata, Astro and others in collaboration with Dror Feiler, Mitek and Pluxus.

Mitek's minimalistic techno-trance sounds contrast smartly with the electronic plink-plonk Jacques Brel-style of Pluxus and Feiler's saxy wails. DJ legend Adam Beyer will blast you with his latest post-house/hip-hop "12-inch techno style" at Maniac Love, accelerating from midnight until dawn on Oct. 20.

In a more conventional vein, there will be a night (Oct. 26) of rock and blues at Crocodile, provided by Inspector Jeff and Sky High.

There are several other music events in this impressive program, without mentioning the film screenings, fashion shows, food events, design, photo exhibitions . . .
