Det Norske Solistkor (the Norwegian Soloists' Choir) occupies a unique position int the cultural life of Norway. The choir has given over two hundred premieres, of which more than a hundred have been of works by Norwegian composers. The choir was established in 1950 by the Norwegian Soloists' Society with the aim of becoming an elite ensemble for performing choral music to the highest possible standard. The choir's first conductor was Knut Nystedt, who led the ensemble for forty years. In 1990 Grete Pederson took over as conductor, and now holds the position of artistic director of the Norwegian Soloists' Choir. ~ description excerpted from the liner notes ~
