"Mit dieser CD kann man den vielseitigen Komponisten kennenlernen, dessen Chorlieder nicht aussergewöhnlich "modern" klingen, sondern teilweise eher traditionell gesetzt sind ... Man hört, dass der Norwegische Solistenchor diese Werke gerne singt - er macht jedes Lied zu einem kleinen Kunstwerk. Er beherrscht alle Tugenden des Chorgesanges, zu denen auch die Stilsicherheit und die angepasste Klangvielfalt gehören".

"Recording of the month: Alfred Janson occupies something of a niche position in Norwegian music ... One fairly constant preoccupation throughout Janson's career has been choral music and it is unlikely it has ever received more committed and graceful advocacy than it gets from the Norwegian Soloists Choir on this absorbing new BIS SACD ... This is an ear-opening recital of wondrously-crafted choral music ... It's difficult to imagine any group surpassing the performances of Grete Pedersen's remarkable Norwegian Soloists Choir ... They emerge with depth and clarity".

"Whether spikily satirical or mournfully melodic, the Norwegian composer Alfred Janson is a superb word-setter, though his quirkier elements may irritate some. The performances are terrific".

"Editor's choice: All the choral-instrumental works here feel timeless, refreshing and sincere, while many of them are notably bold. Their rigorous simplicity is often tied up in those things ... Every word on every track is crystal clear, whether sung in Norwegian, Swedish or English ... The performance here demonstrates the extre levels of finesse Grete Pedersen has cultivated in her ensemble in the past decade ... Blend is exquisite, intonation perfect and articulation superlative ... What a surprise and delight to come across an 82-year-old with such an important, refreshing and honest voice".
