Synve Lundgren, soprano<br/>Johanna Fernholm, alto<br/>Christian Gurtner, flute<br/>Wolfgang Kogert, organ<br/>Markus Vorzellner, piano<br/><br/>This festive release from Phoenix Edition showcases a variety of traditional Christmas songs from Sweden, Finland, Norway and Iceland. These recordings are heartily recommended to anyone interested in hearing traditional Christmas melodies from Scandinavia. The selection includes a mixture of unknown songs with one or two familiar carols translated into a variety of languages. The unmistakable, typical Scandinavian melancholic tones are almost meditative and provide a relaxed and contemplative listening experience.<br/><br/><br/>.
