Review by Tolu Okuboyejo

The album Aftenklokker Han Kom Hjem På Selve Julekvelden by Jens Book Jenssen and Rolf Syversens Ensemble is a beautiful and heartwarming collection of traditional Norwegian Christmas songs. The album features Jenssen's rich and soulful voice accompanied by Syversens' skilled piano playing and the ensemble's lush instrumentation.

The album opens with the title track, "Aftenklokker Han Kom Hjem På Selve Julekvelden," a hauntingly beautiful hymn that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Jenssen's voice is full of emotion and depth, and he sings with a reverence that is both moving and inspiring.

The album also includes several other classic Christmas songs, such as "Deilig er Jorden," "Jeg er Så Glad Hver Julekveld," and "Det Kimer Nå Til Julefest." Each song is performed with great care and attention to detail, and the ensemble's arrangements are both elegant and understated.
