Review by Sheldon Corcoran

CANTATE DOMINO, the latest album by Torsten Nilsson, is an exceptional work of art that takes listeners on a musical journey through a range of emotions. The album, which was released in 2021, features a collection of sacred choral music that showcases Nilsson's unique style and exceptional talent.

The album opens with the title track, Cantate Domino, a beautiful and uplifting piece that sets the tone for the rest of the album. From there, Nilsson takes listeners on a journey through a range of emotions, from the hauntingly beautiful O Magnum Mysterium to the joyous and celebratory Hodie Christus Natus Est.

Throughout the album, Nilsson's arrangements are masterful, with each piece showcasing his exceptional skill as a composer and arranger. The choir, which is made up of some of the most talented vocalists in the world, delivers flawless performances that capture the emotion and beauty of each piece.
