The Stockholm Cathedral Choir and a children's choir sing hymns -- old and modern -- in a new way, arranged by Bengt Berg for organ, guitar, flute and bass. Simple, straightforward organ and guitar accompaniments carry the melody with clarity, while flutes sound playful under the church's vaulted ceiling. This album was recorded in 1981 and is popular among audiophiles for its sheer sound quality. Exquisite recording!
I've been buying Bertil Alving's legendary Proprius recordings since the mid-80s (thanks at that time to the Swedish Music Service) but apparently this gem and rarity eluded my grasp. Now the Green Blade Riseth Kornet har sin vila features the Stockholm Cathedral youth choir performing choral and religious music scored for a battery of instruments including guitar, organ, triangle, recorder, bass, and flute. This reissue captures that huge soundstage, separation of voices and healthy abundance of cathedral space characteristic of those classic Bertil Alving Proprius recordings. Highest recommendation!
