Hans Gefors: Jouissance (2002) (transl. "Enjoyment") This is a five movement, 47 minutes long song cycle for soprano, barytone, large choir and orchestra. Texts by: 1. Jouissance / Jan van Ruysbroeck ; 2. Posteringen / Tomas Transtromer ; 3. En sommerdag pa Skagen / Inger Christensen ; 4. Aria / Lars Forssell; 5. Klyftan / Petter Bergman Pros: When it comes to the marriage of text and music, this is a gloryfied proof that not only Swedish singers know how. Gefors mixes late romantic flair with contemporary dissonance perfectly. Cons: Its only been played twice, (The premiere was brodcast on Swedish Radio) and like most contemorary works of any statue the chance of it beeing performed again is minimal. /ptr Still waiting for 2006: Shostakovich 100
