专辑简介

A Scandinavian choir in Zürich? How come? Maybe the joy of singing together is something that Scandinavians have in common: Televised sing-along shows, drinking songs and Lucia processions. For expatriate Nordic communities, choir music also conveys homesickness, community spirit and one's own language.

Nota Bene has existed for more than 20 years and has become an institution, not only for Scandinavians living abroad. Scandinavian choir-singing has become increasingly appreciated as an exotic component in the rich cultural life in Zürich. Music and song build bridges between cultures and Nota Bene makes a phenomenal contribution to this in Switzerland, not least because the choir members are amateurs. The passion and joy apparent in everything Nota Bene does is a prominent ingredient in this recording of traditional and not so traditional Scandinavian songs for all seasons.
