The music on Quattro Stagioni's Cantio spans a period of seventy years, encompassing both David Monrad Johansen's Draumkvædet, published in 1922, and Knut Nystedt's The Conch, completed in 1993. All of the selections are twentieth-century Norwegian vocal pieces, and none has been available on record before.
"Quattro Stagioni opened the International Uppsala Church Chorus Festival by redefining just what choral singing is all about. This is good. This is first rate. This is vocal virtuosity!"
Uppsala Nya Tidning, Uppsala, Sweden
"The great revelation at the Fano Festival was, right from the start, the Norwegian group Quattro Stagioni - exceptionally evocative"
