From the 1715 manuscript of Gustaf Blidström, a Swedish soldier and
oboist taken to Tobolsk as a prisoner of war during the Great Northern
War. The album is A collaborative album from Swedish duo "Laude Novella" and Russian
troupe "Insula Magica" which collects marches, dances, folk songs, and
church chants inspired by and contemporary to the Great Northern War of
1700-1721, in both the Swedish and Russian languages. With the distance
of time, the sound of the guns is gone, but the thoughts of the men and
women of the age live on through new performances. Listen to the culture
of empire, greed, and fear; love, relief and rejoicing - as from any
age, they are compelling still today.
