Nordic Seasons.. The dark of Scandinavian winter brightens into endless summer with it's moidnight twilight. Frozen soil softens into springy meadow turf. Mountain tundra descends into flower-filled glades. Biting winter winds gentle into breezes, carrying the fragrance of the first summer rose. Nordic Nature... In Scandinavia, the bond between the land and the people is remarkably intimate, and nature is constantly reflected in the music - the slow rhythms of an Icelandic glacier, the solitude of a glittering Norwegian fjord, the serenity of a Swedish forest. Nordic Voices... These songs are mainly inspired by the "green seasons," but even so winter's stark beauty is acknowledged.

This recording brings a Swedish Christmas to life! Imagine yourself in the small, wooden Seglora church at Skansen in Stockholm. Now, close your eyes, think of candle light, the young Lucia girls in their white gowns, and the joy and warmth of Christmas in the darkness of winter! "My favorite holiday CD! Seasonal, but not commercial; the singers voices are pure and clear, and the songs are of a folk tradition that sounds fresh and new to American ears. I solved all my gift-giving problems in one stop!" Guy Van Duser
