THE REPERTOIRE OF AKANTUS consists chiefly of renaissance music. This concentrated and emotionally potent collection of late 16th-century Spanish and Italian music features the uniquely expressive voice of Lena Susanne Norin which, while taking us back to a bygone age, does so with such a gripping contemporaneity that the historical perspective seems to become a trompe l'oeil.
