An often used method to present music to a wider audience in the times that were before TV and CDs made everything everyman´s, was arrangements: Special versions for available instruments were made from almost all genres. Amazing violinist Semmy Stahlhammer (also appearing on nosag CD:s 024 & 033) collaborates here with organist Karin Strid (also appearing on nosag CD 038) and presents a boquet of both well and less known masterpieces dressed for an atmosphere rich in mood and emotion, perfect for meditation and relaxation.

THE CRITICS:
Ljudspår: " Together with the Organist of Seglora church Karin Strid (---) Stahlhammer has collected 19 wonderful meditations - music that is a 'must have' in our times of stress. Let these pearls rock your soul into relaxation!"
Fanfare Magazine: "There is a sort of evenness and drowsy tranquillity about his readings with Karin Strid that makes them less appropriate for active listening than for napping. Recommended to those special audiences who, floating srenely in a twilight reverie, can respond to its charms!"
