Breathing space

For many years, the Gothenburg Chamber Choir was the in-House choir for a radio programme called “Andrum”. The word Andrum means breathing space, but is also a constructed word for “room for spiritual thoughts”. The music performed by the choir on this CD is not sacred, but spiritual. It was recorded by the Swedish Broadcast Corporation for this radio programme, during the years 1996 – 2001.

This CD contains a selection of recordings, especially remixed for this production. You will hear the choir, accompanied by a large variety of jazz musicians - some of the best in Sweden.
