Kristina Stobæus, the renowned Swedish soprano, invites you into a serene and contemplative world with her 1985 album "Mina fåglar." This collection of 16 tracks, spanning a concise 39 minutes, is a delicate blend of Gregorian chant influences and classical compositions, showcasing Stobæus' ethereal voice and her collaborators' mastery. The album features a mix of original arrangements and classic pieces, including works by Erkki Melartin and traditional Swedish folk songs.
Accompanied by Ingrid Lindgren, Ulf Bergström, and Mats Bergström, Stobæus weaves a tapestry of sound that is both intimate and expansive. The title "Mina fåglar" (My Birds) is reflected in the recurring avian themes throughout the album, from "The Birds" to "Den gamla fågeln," creating a sense of natural harmony and tranquility. The album's standout tracks, such as "I ljusningen" and "Isle of My Heart," highlight Stobæus' ability to convey deep emotion and warmth through her voice.
Released under the Bluebell label, "Mina fåglar" is a testament to Stobæus' artistry and her ability to connect with listeners on a profound level.
