Havroy / Ensemble 96 / Ljones - So Is My Love - Super Audio CD

"So is my love" is about love and the beloved, and this includes the sense of love awakened in us by religious faith and by nature. In works by Dyrud, Odegaard, Havry, Daniel-Lesur and Stockhausen the countless facets of love are painted in music and words: we encounter passion, lust, prayer and longing, but we also find humour, playfulness and joy. The two previous albums produced by 2L with Ensemble 96 were honored by The Recording academy with nominations to the GRAMMY Award in both technical craft and performance categories. The chamber choir Ensemble 96, which consists of 24 highly qualified singers, is one of Norway's leading vocal ensembles, and has gained it's reputation through many critically acclaimed concerts, premieres, and recordings.

The ensemble often presents a mix of contemporary music and classical songs. The musical director and conductor is Nina Therese Karlsen, who holds an MA in Choir Conducting from the Norwegian Academy of Music.
