Many artists have recorded Secret Garden's music and even turned their instrumental melodies into vocal songs."We wanted to reverse the process – take some of our own favorite melodies – have lyrics written to them - arrange them in our own style – and invite some of the greatest singers to give their voice and performance to our music."The artists performing the songs of Secret Garden on this edition are - Barbra Streisand, Elaine Paige, Brian Kennedy, Niamh Kavanagh, Peter Corry, Tracey Campbell, Tommy Körberg, Peter Jöback, Anne Takle, Espen Grjotheim and Steinar Albrigtsen. "We are very proud to present an amazing circle of artists who have all given our music their voice and heart – who most generously have shared their utmost performance and signed our music with their name". In addition to 11 songs, you can also look forward to hearing 2 beautiful new Secret Garden instrumental pieces.
