Eldbjørg Hemsing and the Songs of Norway, with GBH Music

Eldbjørg Hemsing stands outside in a long red gown. The snowy Norwegian landscape unfurls behind her. Her long blonde hair is tucked into a red, velvet jacket that's draped around her shoulders. She lifts her head to the horizon and looks off into the distance, smiling.
