Danish folk duo Nina & Frederik were a mainstay of BBC television light entertainment shows in the early 1960s. The glamorous couple were quickly forgotten once they disappeared from the TV screens, victims of changing musical taste. (UK:9)
“Where are they now, people might ask, but sometimes it is better just to remember how they were then, all those years ago. Back then Nina and Frederik were top international entertainers, a multi-lingual, husband and wife singing duet, purveyors of sweet (and delightfully so) songs of varied origin. They made best-selling records and appeared in films, but it was through their television and stage performances that they really made an impression. They came, they entertained, they faded, but the songs live on, evoking memories of what to many remains a simpler, less frenetic age.” “Nina and Frederik were one of the best man/wife duos around in the sixties and charmed millions with their folksy/humorous/melodic sounds.”
“Nina & Frederik seemed to have disappeared and been forgotten from the music scene. Their voices and music are even more lovely than I remembered. This is an album of beautiful vocal harmonies conveyed through these old songs that can be highly recommended.”
“From the late 1950s to mid 1960s, the aristocratic duo Nina & Frederick entertained audiences across Europe and North America with their 'pop' slanted folk and calypso singing, distinctive sweet harmonies and melodic songs.”
“With Jamaica Farewell this folk duo show extreme versatility, but it is almost too exaggerated compared with the Harry Belafonte version.”
