REVIEWS

“Orphei Drängar är Nordens bästa manskör. En gammal sanning, som än en gång skulle bevisas medelst färska sakrala skivan De Profundis” – Mats Liljeroos, Hufvudstadsbladet, 16/10 2013

“Estonia provides both starting point and goal for this disc of sacred music for male choir, with a traditional hymn followed by works by composers such as Kreek, Eespere and Lemba, and the closing De profundis by Arvo Pärt.

Orphei Drängar and Rydinger Alin once again demonstrate the versatility and exalted standards that result in the choir being recognised as one of the finest male-voice choirs in the world.” – mdt.co.uk
