The fine, small chamber choir “Bachspeglarna” comes from Sweden and captivates with its performances of Swedish, Danish and Norwegian choral jewels. Oskar Lindberg's Pentecost hymn opens the evening atmospherically: “High above land and water the starry twinkling of Pentecost evening watches. A song stands over the silent night like exquisite incense in the darkness.” Compositions from two centuries combine intense melody and beauty of sound with a closeness to nature and an unmistakably Nordic tone.
