Pictures of Stockholm

Anna Norrby

The concert and opera singer Anna Norrby, elected Queen of Lake Mälaren 1997–98, makes a historical odyssey through the musical treasuries of Stockholm.

The Queen of Lake Mälaren, was an award given to talanted women and sponsored by the Swedish evening paper Aftonbladet between the years 1946 and 1998. On this CD you will find both well known and less known melodies, everything from the troubadour of the 18th century, Bellman, to his more recent followers of the 20th century: Evert Taube, Olle Adolphson , Lasse Berghagen and others.

Anna Norrby has written the sleeve commentaries herself and the lyrics are of course included in the booklet, illustrated with collages of Stockholm by the artist Lasse Åberg.
