Overview

This album brings together the delicate charm of the mandolin and the intimate warmth of the guitar in a collection of Nordic and Romantic duets. Performed by Tove Flensborg (mandolin) and Kristian Buhl-Mortensen (guitar), the program explores works by Henriques, Rung, and Degen, presenting lyrical dances, serene miniatures, and expressive character pieces.
