NAXOS The Treasury Of Danish Song

This encyclopaedic survey represents Bo Holten and Musica Ficta's 25-year odyssey to collate and record the magnificent wealth of Danish part-songs. The project began in 1996 to much acclaim -Gramophone wrote: 'Musica Ficta cannot put a foot wrong' - and since then they have continued to earn admiration as one of the finest vocal ensembles in Europe. Stretching back to the glories of the Middle Ages and forwards to today's leading Danish composers, these recordings encompass the Romantic era as well as traditional songs, motets, folk songs, Christmas hymns and carols, children's songs and the great contributions of Carl Nielsen and Thomas Laub, to form a cornerstone collection of Danish song.
