Solvguttene (Silver Boys' Choir); Frederik Otterstad
Description
Most Norwegians associate Sølvguttene primarily with Christmas, not a surpise as they have sung carols to mark the beginning of Christmas since the 1960s. They are, however, active all year round. When they toured the West of Norway in the late summer of 2015, it would have been untimely to sing Christmas carols, likewise from other tours in the USA and Rome in the spring of 2016.
Any choir active throughout the year must have a broad repertoire well suited for all seasons and occasions, and as they have approximately 150 performances throughout the year, spanning from weddings to funerals, receptions to masses, and long concerts to short stunts, their repertoire extends from pieces from the Early Middle Ages to contemporary works, by Norwegian and foreign composers, both sacred and profane.
This is a lovely selection of popular and less well known choral works, sung by this fine young choir.
