Great photo and super selection of songs! I'd love to have a copy of this!

I heard the record today, the musical side is really daring and great. The translation is a very word to word one. This means that some of the lines loose the smoothness of leonards poetry. But I believe the translation is loyal to the original meaning, whatever that may have been.

But a great and satisfying experience.

Tina Dico (aka Dickow) and Steffen Brandt singing Hallelujah at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ud-M6YqeOWg

I like Danish Hallelujah a lot !
I love also comments on YouTube, apparently Internet must be quite a shock for some native English speakers -- they discovered there are people out there speaking languages other then English !:
This is Hilarous! How are we suppossed to understand this? I suppose were not its in danish... but still, they could have put subtitles in.

Tina Dickow sings Hallelujah all by herself, I like this version a lot as well:
