Transfiguration

Footprint Records are happy to announce the release of the album Transfiguration, performed by one of Sweden's most prominent choirs: Lunds Vokalensemble. The present album features some of the Swedish choral classics, such as Gösta Nystroem's Three Sea Visions, Sven-Erik Bäck's Transfiguration and Sven-David Sandström's Hear My Prayer. The choir commissions new works on a regular basis, two of which are Jacob Mu¨hlrad's Dreams and Linda Alexandersson's April och tystnad (April and Silence), and both are featured on this album along with several magnificent choral pieces. The choir's hallmark is a certain pure, transparent, and homogenous tonal quality developed in the day of Ingemar Månsson (1929-2022). And now, with Martin Arpåker at the helm since 2017, their palette of expression and dynamic skills are ever-evolving. This recording truly reflects the richness of their repertoire in recent years. This album is also available in high resolution and Dolby Atmos.
