Now they set off on tour &#8220;Midvinter&#8221; around Sweden &#8211; a musical experience that contains both intimacy and warmth.<\/p>\n<p>The great hall of V\u00e4ster\u00e5s Concert House is so quiet and atmospheric that it almost feels devout when Helen Sj\u00f6holm and Anders Widmark together start off the concert with the song &#8220;Jag har bara \u00f6gonblick&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a reasonable way to launch &#8220;Midvinter&#8221;, as the song along with the subsequent number &#8220;Fast\u00e4n du sover&#8221; are part of Sj\u00f6holms and Widmark&#8217;s joint album &#8220;Genom varje andetag&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>However tonight&#8217;s concert is no genuine nostalgia trip but goes as its name indicates in winter mode where well-known classics like &#8220;Ring Them Bells&#8221; and &#8220;Ave Maria&#8221; figure together with Christmas carols fragrant of jazz as well as the duo&#8217;s newly released single, &#8220;Jag vill f\u00f6lja med&#8221;. Choices a bit sprawling, perhaps, but the consistently high quality found only in really experienced musicians makes it pass almost unnoticed.<\/p>\n<p>And it&#8217;s precisely both Helen Sj\u00f6holm and Anders Widmark&#8217;s long experience in the business that makes it extra impressive that two such big names can be experienced as something else than in big musical productions and at lavish concert halls. &#8220;Midvinter&#8221; is invariably stylish and elegant, but above all totally unadorned. Sj\u00f6holm and Widmark serve themselves entirely to the audience in a frost-rimmed mix of intimacy and professionalism.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/helensjoholm.nu\/_eng\/press-clips\/reviews-2015-2\/\">Back<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>V\u00e4stmanlands L\u00e4ns Tidning 151127 By: SOPHIA SINCLAIR It&#8217;s been 13 years since Helen Sj\u00f6holm and Anders Widmark released the album &#8220;Genom varje andetag&#8221;.
