This delightful recital album brings together an eclectic mix of duets and songs by composers including Kodály, Tchaikovsky, Dvořák, Purcell, Rossini, and others, performed by two of Sweden’s most distinguished singers: soprano Elisabeth Söderström and mezzo-soprano Kerstin Meyer, accompanied by Jan Eyron on piano.

From Hungarian folk tunes and Romantic lieder to English Baroque gems and comic Italian duets, the program showcases both vocalists' wide-ranging artistry, humor, and deep musicality. Highlights include Kodály's selections from Bicinia Hungarica, Purcell’s “Sound the trumpet,” Dvořák’s charming part songs, and Rossini’s famously whimsical Duetto buffo di due gatti (Comic duet for two cats).

Recorded with warmth and intimacy, this album captures the joy and chemistry between two great artists in their prime, offering a charming and varied listening experience.
