Trio X of Sweden offer a bouquet of traditional Swedish folk music as well as four new tunes composed in the same spirit. The Trio has made its name with their personal and innovative interpretations of older music such as psalms and classical master works. Their CDs Träumerei, Atonement and most recently their Christmas CD Veni Veni Emmanuel have reached a large audience all over the world, not least through Spotify.

Lennart Simonsson, Per V Johansson and Joakim Ekberg have each contributed a new composition. In addition, there is a piece by the world-renowned folk musician and guitarist Roger Tallroth, dedicated to the Trio. Trio X of Sweden, with Uppsala as their home, are one of three groups based at Musik i Uppland. Through the years the Trio have worked with and been inspired by many musicians and artists from a wide variety of genres. They have also performed nationally and internationally at all kinds of venues.

“It has been a great joy for us to spend some time with these Swedish folk music classics and to arrange them in our own way.”

We dedicate this album to the memory of the master musician Jan Johansson.
