The visual and spiritual superlatives of Antarctica are frequently expressed through photography and books but to a lesser extent through music.

This CD of musical interpretations of various facets of Antarctica, a collaboration with Marc-André Bourbonnais, is based on my three visits over 1993-95 to the frozen south. - Valmar Kurol (1999) Musical compositions © Valmar Kurol and Marc-André Bourbonnais, 1999 except 4,7,11,12 ©Kurol/Bourbonnais/Hamel,1999.
