Since Jenny Lind in the nineteenth century, Sweden has given us many 'Swedish nightingales'. Here is one of the latest to delight us. Soprano Miah Persson is a bright and shining talent from Stockholm's Royal Swedish Opera who is rapidly winning admiration from her audiences for her roles of Susanna, Gretel, Sophie and others. As yet little known in Britain, Miss Persson has already caused a stir in France, Germany and Switzerland for her singing of Bach, Mozart, Haydn and Rossini.

Her first solo recording collects together some particularly lovely songs by four composers from her native country, including the Tannhäuser cycle of six songs by Emil Sjögren (1853-1918), to German texts by Julius Wolff.
