Sparks - The Seduction Of Ingmar Bergman - LP

Double Vinyl LP

The Seduction of Ingmar Bergman is the 22nd album by Sparks, originally released in 2009. The duo's first work in the radio-musical genre, it is built around an imaginary mid-1950s visit to Hollywood by Swedish film director Ingmar Bergman, with a storyline exploring the divides between European and American culture and between art and commerce. Unlike other Sparks albums, the work is conceived as a single continuous piece meant to be heard as a whole.
