| Preben Tortoft was a popular boy soprano in Denmark in the early fifties. His songs were transferred to CD in 1991 and are still available for purchase. They do not appear to have been remasterized, so there are clicks and noise still present. The album, although called Danish songs have a few non-danish items thrown in at the end. Out of the Danish songs those written by Carl Nielsen are my favourites.
