It’s no wonder that some of the darkest and coldest places in the world
are known for their bonfires, saunas, and all-night festivals of
singing and dancing. Scandinavians know how to handle – and enjoy! –
wintertime. This morning we’lll warm to the sounds of Norway, Sweden,
Finland among other Northern areas in a celebration of the white
season. The journey also inlcudes Bergtatt, an unusual recording we just received from the Oslo Chamber Choir.
