User Album Review
Recorded when she was just 17, it was a very successful beginning to what has deservedly become a very successful music career. Even then the crystalline purity of her voice was evident as was the power behind it. Over the years, her voice has changed quite noticeably but it has if anything simply added to the beauty of sound. Compare her first renditions of "Kjaerlighet" (Love) and the patriotic hymn "O Vestland, Vestland", (Vestland refers to the majestic western coastal region of Norway, the land of Fjells and Fjords) found on this album and her later performances of them from her 2001 album "In Symphony" - the voice has matured, becoming deeper, more burnished, but still retaining the purity and power. -dooby; amazon.com
