"Med fint afstemte fraseringer, der får harmonierne til at svæve, leveres 15 sange, der ikke alle er lige uforglemmelige, men som både giver sig og alligevel hænger sammen. Som trådene, de mange stemmer så fint spinder hver især. Resultatet er mere dedikeret end de fleste koralbum".

"Traditional Swedish folksongs are interwoven with newer choral works, from Golden Age Alfvén to cutting-edge Sandström's take on Lapp joiks".

"Do not be put off a programme buy unfamiliar names. This is such a choral feast that one can opnly shake one's head in wonderment that such lovely music is so little known outside Scandinavia. The Swedish Radio Choir's reputation for flawless singing is as solid as ever and, under Peter Dijkstra's direction, it has become a powerful though flexible instrument capable of tremendously warm and gilded singing ... Be amazed by 76 minutes breathtaking virtuosity ... Stunning".

"The timbral and rhythmic precision of their [Swedish Radio Choir] performances does not prevent the singing from projecting a genuinely human warmth. The choir is responsive to the wide variety of styles represented here; one senses the singers' enjoyment ... no lack of atmosphere".
