The first CD

Tórshavn Male Voice Choir published its first CD in 1997. It's called »Tórshavnar Manskór« - or »Tórshavn Male Choir«. There are some powerful songs including »Føroyar mítt land« and »Ódn«. There is also the old Faroese hymn »Som den gyldne sol frembryder« which Jákup Dahl translated into Faroese and which Heri Eysturlíð arranged for male choir. There are also some songs in different tongues - e.g. in Icelandic and English.

The second CD

The choir's second CD was released in 1999. It's called »Vit eru føroyingar« - or »We are Faroese«. The title has its origin in the first line of the ironic poem »Kvæði fremsta framtakskappa landsins« - lyrics by Regin Dahl and music by Kári Bæk - and is about being a Faroese of culture. On this CD there are several songs from a competition which the choir held in 1996. The competition was about getting new compositions for male choir. There are also some songs in Danish and Icelandic, and the last song on this CD is the national anthem in its original arrangement as composed by Peter Alberg - also known as Peter í Geil.

The third CD

The choir's third CD was released in 2008. It's called »Væl má gagnast« - or »May it do you good« which is the last line in the amusing song »Matlepin« - or »The menu« by Nyholm Debes. Furthermore this CD is the first to be produced as a surround CD which means that the listener is surrounded by sound as in a concert auditorium. There are three types of sound: 1) Super Audio 5.1 surround, 2) Super Audio Stereo, and 3) regular Stereo. Songs from Bulgaria, Denmark, Iceland and USA are on this CD, and also some good soloists: Andrias Reinert, Peter H. Niclasen, Fróði D. Sandoy, Birgir Krossteig and others.
