About

Sopranos Ljiljana Jovanović and Biljana Staffansson accompanied by Elena Atanasovska-Ivanovska perform works composed by members of the Sweden Royal Family.

In the 19th century, the importance of musical life for the royal family ruling in Sweden increased rapidly. All thanks to King Charles XIV John, the first monarch from the House of Bernadotte, which still reigns at the Swedish court. It is worth noting that many of its representatives have shown numerous artistic talents in terms of musical performance as well as composition and theory of music. Although officially, according to the 19th-century etiquette, representatives of the royal court could not perform any functions related to musical life, it did not stop them from making attempts at composing and organising numerous concerts. The present album is a unique collection of representative works created at the Swedish court in the 19th century.
