Linnékvintetten has since 1986 been a dynamic element in the Swedish music scene.Ever since its inception, the ensemble has gone in to renew the Swedish repertoire for brass quintet, which meant about 40 premieres of Swedish music.On this release of joyful and evocative music associated with Advent and Christmas in Sweden the listener will find 16th c. variations on the hymn ‘There is a rose in flower’ alongside carols, hymns and a new Swedish ‘classic’, the theme-music from the TV-program ‘Karl-Bertil Jonssons Christmas’.Recorded in Hagby church February 2013 during a howling blizzard.
