HEMBERG, ESKIL - CHORAL WORKS (CD)

"Eskil Hemberg's choral music display a wide range of expression. His sources of inspiration is his deep affection for literature and the depth of consolation and affirmation of the sacred scripture. On this cd we find works composed to lyrics by Dag Hammarskjöld, Wislawa Szymborska, Salvatore Quasimodo and Robert Graves among others. Hemberg challenges singers with music that explores the possibilities of atonality, but at the heart of his music is a love for melody and the rich potential of the human voice." (label info)
