Like Harp Songs of the Midnight Sun, this recording draws on music from Scandinavia. I consider it to be my most exotic, diverse and adventurous recording. Beautiful, but exciting and passionate, this album is not something you put on for background music. Rather it rewards close attention and repeated listenings. A favorite among my musician friends and recommended to audiophiles and classical music enthusiasts.
