This marks the first recording by the duo of Andrew Davis and the Bergen Philharmonic since their hugely successful recording of Sibelius’s Violin Concerto (CHSA5134), featuring Jennifer Pike as soloist.\nPerformed alongside three choirs—the Bergen Philharmonic Choir, the Collegium Musicum Choir (a Bergen-based choir), and the Edvard Grieg Choir—this recording presents a secular cantata based on the saga of Olaf I, who became King of Norway in 995.\nDavis’s new Elgar recording—his previous release, Elgar’s “The Dream of Gerontius” (CHSA5140)—was named “Recording of the Month” by the BBC Music Magazine and has been steadily garnering high praise. A must-listen for British music fans and Elgar enthusiasts!\nTokyo M Plus\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.Scenes from the Saga of King Olaf (beginning): Introduction: Soli and Chorus: 'There is [...] a wond\u003cbr\u003e2.Scenes from the Saga of King Olaf (beginning): Introduction: 1.
