ORPHEI DRÄNGER - CAPRICER MED OD - DEL 9: 2003-2005

• Orphei Drängar: Capricer Med OD - Del 9, 2003 - 2005
      (2011, cd, Sweden, sångsällskapet orphei drängar)

The Swedish male choir and singing society Orphei Dränger got founded in 1853 (yes, that's eighteen fifty-three) at the Uppsala university.

In 2011, they released highlights from their 2003 to 2005 concerts. The album included Peter Carlsson’s guest appearance during the 2005 concert, performing ‘Mystiska Mannen’, a Swedish version of FZ’s ‘Cosmic Debris’, that Peter Carlsson had initially recorded for his 1994 “Carlsson På Scen” album.

The album itself is OK. Sound quality is a bit of a problem as the recordings were taken from various sources, some of these not being of high quality.

The included 'Mystiska Mannen' / 'Cosmik Debris' is a nice version but I would have liked the choir to be more up front...

Nevertheless, another fine addition to "The Others Of Invention".
