Last year during the holidays I was working like crazy on the Scandinavian Yuletide Voices CD. Now it's released; I have to say I'm really happy with how it turned out. Eight wonderful singers are singing a really nice, predominantly Scandinavian selection of Christmas songs: 21 tracks, 3 bonus tracks and a video. They are accompanied by strings, woodwinds, brass and a rhythm section. These songs will also be performed live here in New York:
* SUNDAY, DECEMBER 12th @ 6:30 pm
* THE NORWEGIAN CHURCH
* 317 E 52nd Street (/1 & 2 Ave)
* New York City; $ 10 at the door.
I hope you'll find the time to take a listen to this CD. All lyrics are free on the Yuletide Voices-website. The CD is for sale at CD Baby for US$ 15.99 (12.30 euro). There is a 10 % discount to those who buy more than one copy (US$ 14.39 or 11.10 euro per CD).
Happy holidaytime!
