Guitarist Allan Sjølin and soprano Anne Due Nørgård will release their debut CD "English Songs" in January 2023. On the CD you will find some of Britten's most beautiful interpretations of British folk songs as well as Elgar's epic orchestral song cycle Sea Pictures. In Nørgård & Sjølin's version, the piano and the orchestra are respectively replaced by Allan Sjølin's own guitar arrangements, which contributes to a present and more intimate interpretation of the music and lyrics.

The 2 musicians use the album to explore the many sonorous possibilities of music and the song/guitar constellation; ranging from the big pompous legato phrases in Sea Pictures to delicate, airy, pianissimo passages in Britten's folk songs and dramatic whispering passages with flageolet playing on the guitar.
