Nature and love
Spring is here and we lose our breath by the beauty of nature and blush of the devotion of love.
The Norwegian Soloists' Choir and conductor Vivianne Sydnes perform music from the Nordic countries.
We meet old heroes like Edvard Grieg and Jean Sibelius, and newer acquaintances like Stine Sørlie, Pelle Gudmundsen-Holmgreen and Torbjørn Dyrud. They also perform Alfred Janson's Sonnett 76 which the Soloists' Choir released on record in 2018.
