GRAMOPHONE MAGAZINE AWARD FINALIST 2008 - Choral --

"It's been a long time coming, but it was worth the wait. As for the music itself, it will come as a very pleasant surprise to those familiar with Leifs' other works. The influence of Icelandic folk music is omnipresent, but there's much more harmonic and rhythmic variety than in, say, Baldr, or the Saga Symphony. Glorious SACD multichannel sonics make this release a major event. Don't miss it." (ClassicsToday 10/10)
