Our Review
Marius Noss Gundersen delivers with a nice set of traditional carols, simply-arranged and gently rendered. The three Norwegian selections were a pleasant surprise, especially the brooding Mitt Hjerte Alltid Vanker, which made me to imagine a cold blustery day in Bergen, fire in the hearth, sipping on strong coffee and watching the snow fall.
But brooding is too strong a word for most of this set, which would be better characterized as pensively contemplative. Gundersen's music is peaceful, almost blissfully so. And quite enjoyable to wake up to. Merry Christmas to You is like a pleasant Norwegian winter morning.
