"Intimate, strong and sensitive vocals that will touch your heart!
An acoustic mix of folk, world and americana, recorded "live";
original songs and interpretations of Leonard Cohen, Eliza Gilkyson and
Stevie Nicks and more." (CD-BABY artist site)
The singer Lena Måndotter toured to some of Sweden's most known
cathedrals in 2013 and the cd "Live at the Cathedral" is a collection
of some live-recordings from this tour. Her intention was to perform songs
that, through the years, have been very important to her and that her
faithful audience often requested her to perform.
The artistic intention was to keep an intimate and organic acoustic sound
where the voice and each instrument was given a warm and atmospheric space;
just a trio with vocals, cello, guitar and bouzouki.
The cd contains some of her own compositions and also interpretations
of other songwriters like Eliza Gilkyson, Leonard Cohen, Stevie Nicks
and Townes Van Zandt.
Lena Måndotter has travelled and lived in many countries, and therefore
the cd also contains some Greek and Hebrew hymns; some recorded with just
her solitary voice in the grand chambers of the cathedral.
Her co-musicians on these live-recordings are Åsa Gjerstad (cello
and harmony vocals) and Pierre Engström (guitars and bouzouki).
The cd was recorded live by Ola Glans, mixed by Lotta Wenglén Margit
Music Studio and mastered by Håkan Åkesson Nutid Studio in
Sweden. CD-release by Kameleont Production (LMCD007)
During 2013 singer Lena Måndotter and her trio with co-musicans Åsa Gjerstad (cello, vocal harmonies) and Pierre Engström (guitar, bouzouki) toured Sweden with the songs now available at the album LIVE IN THE CATHEDRAL. Among the venues they played are for example Lunds Domkyrka (The Cathedral of Lund), St Johanneskyrkan (The Church at St Johannes) and they also played at Good-Night Sun music festival in Malmö. There concerts were very popular and attracted a big audience who gave them an enthusiastic and warm response.
