Originally recorded in 1981 and released in 1993 on the Swedish audiophile label Proprius, this album includes chorales, hymns and songs from the Swedish Ecumenical Hymn Book, arranged by Bengt Berg and performed by the Stockholm Cathedral Choir, the Johannes Youth Choir, a childrens’ choir and instrumentalists, conducted by Gustaf Sjökvist and Anders Eby.

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!

A new approach to singing hymns and religious songs: simple, straightforward settings with organ and guitar bring clarity to the melodies while flutes resound above them in the vaults of the church. This album, with its twenty songs, will be an inspiration to small choirs and ensembles. It asks to be listened to, frequently
