- Farväl Astrid / Farewell Astrid


Astrid Lindgren, the world famous author of children´s books and stories for all people, died in 2002. Her funeral was shown at Swedish television and the cathedral of Stockholm was over filled with people wanting to say their last goodbye to a very beloved story teller and a person that also became the sound mind of all Swedes. She was an idol for many, many people with her often strong and well put views on events in society, politics and among people. This CD contains the very solemn and beautiful music that was performed during the funeral and is a memorable gem for everybody with some kind of relation to the famous and dearly admired Astrid Lindgren.
