Torsten Mossberg - Out There so Quiet and Other Rare Songs by Evert Taube (2022)

The selection of songs for this album is entirely subjective. Torsten Mossberg has chosen songs he likes and to which he thinks he can do justice. It is strange that several of the chosen songs have not become more popular. Here you will find everything from Därute så tyst, a dialogue between Mr. Brunander and Eve about what is best: Roslagen or Paris, stories from Argentina, a romantic Personligt samtal, a lovely Bal på Skeppsholmen, to the melancholy Minnet och tystnaden, Taube’s final composition.

Some of the songs were never recorded by Taube himself. Sandhamnsballaden is not at all recorded before. With this album, Torsten Mossberg would like to highlight songs that gives a complementary picture of the extent of Taube’s artistry. The last song Nocturne is not among the rarely heard. However, Torsten Mossberg decide to record it when he found Jonas Isaksson’s arrangement so idiomatic and delicate.
