About the album

Christiania Mannskor was established in 2009 and is dedicated to the renewal and revitalization of men’s choir singing in Norway. The ensemble works closely with several of the country’s leading composers, and works with both old and new compositions for men’s choir in an attempt to make the genre more accessible to the people of Oslo and across the country. The group is made up of eighteen professional singers. “Something Blue” is the ensemble’s second recording of Norwegian music on the LAWO Classics label. Their first release, “Something New,” was the first in the series of what will be four albums and consists only of works by Norwegian composers written in the past twenty years.

Christiania Mannskor wurde 2009 gegründet und widmet sich der Erneuerung und Revitalisierung des Männerchorgesangs in Norwegen. "Something Blue" ist die zweite Aufnahme des norwegischen Ensembles auf dem Label LAWO Classics.
