Hans Gefors has set poems by Malte Persson and Karin Boye to music. On the album, the poets themselves recite their poems before they are then interpreted musically by soprano Matilda Sterby, active at the Karlsruhe opera house, accompanied by Mårten Landström, piano.

Reviewed in the magazine Opera! \"Sterby had her definitive breakthrough in Smetana's The Bartered Bride in Gothenburg last autumn. On her debut album, one can again enjoy the richness of colors in her voice. Often she interprets the text only through small shifts in color. Very subtle - and beautiful!\"
(Lennart Bromander, Opera)

\"The alloy of poetry and tone creates the work Tunnelbaneresa, a song cycle, which rises to high artistic effect thanks to soprano Matilda Sterby and pianist Mårten Landström.\" (Carlhåkan Larsén, Opus)
