Otto A. Totland ~ The Lost
The holidays are upon us; some might say they’ve been here for a while. The next month will bring a mad rush of shopping, cooking and company. It’s the perfect time to invest in Otto A. Totland‘s music. Concerned with “the

The loveliest sounds of the year are found right here. With a tender approach and attention to detail, these composers mine the spectrum of emotions to produce works of gravity and grace. Once upon a time, we called this music
