Gary GradenAbout
Idenstam is joined by folk fiddler (and baroque violinist) Lisa Rydberg as well as Sofia Karlsson and Emma Härdelin, two of Sweden's most distinctive voices in the traditions of folk music and ballads. A key role is also played by St Jacobs Chamber Choir, one of Sweden's finest choirs led by its choral director, Gary Graden.
The programme (sung in Swedish) includes international favourites (Silent Night and Veni, veni Emanuel), Swedish traditional versions from the rich stock of the Lutheran hymn book (Es ist ein Ros entsprungen) and Swedish folk tunes and newly written material in the same vein. The resulting disc gives a fresh breath of life to familiar materials, presenting us with an entirely new view of Christmas.
The disc comes in a double-folded digipak with full colour booklet including liner notes and song texts in Swedish and English, with an introduction also in German and French.
