Review
The three voices of Zara Tellander, Maria Ohlsson and Anders Larsson together make up the vocal trio of Envisa. On this album these three young singers have captured their own unique new sound. Here we hear songs of different kinds, and dance tunes arranged for lilting voices. The arrangements are truly innovative, and Envisa have also attracted much attention for their improvisation, with many spur of the moment ideas. Envisa also have a special interest in folk hymns, which they feel should be better known, since there is such a rich treasure of religious folk songs in the Swedish tradition.
