After the fabulously successful Engleskyts from the Kirkelig Kulturverksted label. It features Anne-Lise Berntsen, with Nils Henrik Asheim performing on the Holzhey organ in the cloister church of Weissenau. A decade after that first project, the two reunited for this further mediation on early Norwegian sacred music.
NOTE: All of the music on this program comes from the second collaboration between singer Anne-Lise Berntsen and organist Nils-Henrik Asheim (their first, Engleskyts, was one of the most popular works ever featured on the program).
Like that recording featuring Norwegian religious folksong and organ improvisation, this recording also is on the Kirkelig Kulturverksted label. Engleskyts is FXCD 136, and Kom Regn is FXCD 266. For more information:
