Sounds of Sund
– 2006
Few of Sweden’s 100,000 choral singers can have avoided singing an arrangement by Robert Sund at some point. This recording contains a selection of his compositions and arrangements in which his experience as a musician, singer, composer, conductor, and choral educator comes together. The variety of the record is broad, which is reflected in the range of the repertoire and artists. The record also features Peter Mattei, Jeanette Köhn, Stefan Parkman, the jazz artists Claes Janson and Trio X, and on several tracks the choir is accompanied by Folke Alin.
