Notes

The first SACD-Hybrid production on Caprice Records was released in February 2003 and featured soprano saxophonist Anders Paulsson, A Date with a Soprano Saxophone. Now it is time for the next SACD, Hymn to Life, with the same artist, who has introduced the soprano saxophone as a classical solo instrument.

Underlying his success is his masterly tone, which has inspired about forty composers to write music especially for him.
Now he appears with his own music; this time we hear his moving and poetical choral music, which has been inspired by nature. Participants include: The St. Jacob Chamber Choir, The Real Group. Vocal soloists: Malena Ernman, Håkan Hagegård and Olle Persson. Instrumentalists: Anders Paulsson soprano saxophone, André Ferrari percussion, Svante Henryson cello, Jan Adefelt bass, Andrew W. Canning organ. Conductor: Gary Graden.

All compositions and arrangements on the record are written by Anders Paulsson.

Recorded in the church of S:t Jacob and in the church of Tyresö, Stockholm during January-April 2004. Tracks 2, 6, 9-10, 17, 20-21 from a live concert in the church of S:t Jacob, February 14, 2004.

With a 32-page booklet with notes in English and Swedish.
