Notes
Bent Sørensen's atmospheric vocal work Sneklokker (Snowbells) from 2010 arose as the audio accompaniment for the unique art installation ‘The White Forest’, in which an area in a summer-green forest was partly transformed into a snow-white winter forest. In this premiere recording by the Danish National Vocal Ensemble and conductor Paul Hillier the listener is guided through an almost unearthly landscape of human voices interwoven with the recorded sound of the bells of the village churches around the forest. The CD also offers a selection of sacred and secular choral works by Sørensen with texts by leading Danish poets, from both Romanticism and the present day.

Reviews
"...The Danish National Vocal Ensemble sounds beautiful under Paul Hillier making a warm, unforced, understated blend..." ***
Kate Molleson - The Guardian - 10 March 2016
"...Sørensen's hallmarks of fragmentation and decay are in evidence, as is his arm's-length love for voices singing a simple, well-harmonised hymn or song...all-round excellence and a disc that's unusually moving in one sitting ..."
Andrew Mellor - Gramophone magazine - May 2016
”Paul Hillier has worked with several Baltic and Scandinavian groups, and here he directs the Danish National Vocal Ensemble in performances that are beyond praise. They are beautifully recorded, too.”
William Hedley - MusicWeb-International.com - 10 May 2016
