1. Songs from the Secret Garden (Songs from the Secret Garden)
1995, the first album "Songs from the Secret Garden" came out, which was produced by Polaroid Norway Company and released under the name of Philip, and achieved unprecedented success. By the end of 1997, more than 650,000 albums had been released, which lasted for one year on the billboard music charts in the United States. This album has a unified style, soothing and soft music, full of nostalgia and melancholy, and inadvertently reveals a little sadness, which makes people have to indulge in it. Among them, "Nocturne" is a famous work of the band, and/kloc-0 won the European singing contest in 1995. Before the band was founded, Songs from the Secret Garden was published and popular in Norway.
The sadness in The Secret Garden's first album can kill people, making people lost in the mysterious jungle. In the dark, they can't see the sky, can't find an exit, and indulge in such darkness. It's like sitting alone in the shade of the road, quietly watching people coming and going on the road. You don't want to be seen if others can't see you, because you are afraid, because you are lonely, and you know it's not a good thing, but only in this way can a broken heart have a heart.

1997 The second record of Mystery Garden, White Stone, was produced by Polaroid Novell and released under the name of Michael. Compared with the first album, "White Stone" is richer and more comprehensive, with lively style, many characteristic musical instruments and big bands. Since listing, sales have been very good, and the upward trend is fierce. By the end of 1997, the album had exceeded 500,000 copies. ...
The name of this album comes from a fairy tale: a little brother and sister were abandoned by their poor parents in the forest, and they found their home by the reflection of Baishi in the moonlight. The author's moral is obvious. He hopes that people who have lost themselves in the busy modern life can find themselves through the wonderful notes in this album. I think we can at least temporarily escape from the troubles and pressures in real life, relax and enjoy the spirit in their music. This album adds some jumping Latin rhythm to the original style, which is much faster than the first day.

dawn of a new century
1999 At the historical moment at the turn of the century, the third record of Mystery Garden, Dawn of the New Century, began to be released around the world. Compared with the previous two albums, the new album does have a lot of new content, and they have also begun to set foot in new music fields, including Shirley's participation in singing. They also sang with Norwegian singer Anne Karin Knag and American singer Nicky Ma Xisen. "Nnuna" from the Irish Chorus and Norwegian guitar legend Terijerypdal also joined in the production of this album. Although this record has different changes in style, the real way of meditation and inner pursuit once again runs through the music works of Dawn in the new century.
This album basically maintains the consistent mysterious garden style, and the vocal part has increased compared with the previous two, especially "Prayer", which can be called a song and is a very moving song. The last song, Dawn of the New Century, is one of the band's rare works with a little atmosphere.

It was released in March 2002. The album continues the dominant position of violin and piano in music and the expressive force of ancient narrative songs, and once again shows the fusion skills of the secret garden to classical and Celtic folk music, as well as the expressive control of small orchestras and harmony groups. The album invited many famous Irish new-age musicians, and "You Lift Me Up" was composed by Celtic &; Brian Kennedy, the lead singer of Heartbeat series riverdance, and Anuna, a retro folk group, sang in Elegy. The last song "Elegie" was created by the band based on piano chords sent by netizens from the Internet.

Following the release of the album Remember the Red Moon in March 2002, the Secret Garden finally released their latest fifth creation, Song of the Earth, from June 5438 to February 2004. This album was released for the first time in Norway, the birthplace of the Secret Garden, with 15 tracks. At the beginning of 2005, Song of the Earth was released by Universal Pictures all over the world, but the version released in Chinese mainland had only 12 tracks. It's a pity that Canzona and Salabande disappeared in silence, but as compensation, the record company added video clips in the international edition, including 20 minutes of album production tidbits and always there.
In terms of musical style, the secret garden has not been deliberately changed in the new album, which continues their quiet, simple and elegant style, full of classical aesthetic feeling and unique cheerful optimism of Celtic music; As for the orchestration, violin, piano and human voice are three pillars, with natural and elegant woodwinds or colorful electronic synthesizers. In Song of the Earth, two main actors in the Secret Garden, composer, producer and keyboard player Rolf and violinist Shirley, continued their wonderful performances. At the same time, the famous British tenor Russell Watson was invited to sing the album's title song "Always there". The beautiful and affectionate melody and Watson's warm and supple voice make this song full of atmosphere and touching temperament. In addition, the album Searching for the Past was specially written for Wong Kar-wai's film 2046, but it doesn't seem to appear in the film.
The other works are also highly audible. In the first song "Sometimes it rains", Shirley showed us her increasingly skilled violin playing skills, and her dignified and heavy timbre was full of deep understanding of the contents of the track. The Reel and Irish daughters are two cheerful tracks full of Irish music temperament; At the beginning of Lotus, the melancholy timbre of Chinese traditional musical instrument erhu appeared, and then erhu and violin moved from solo to blending, which made the whole work full of a magical oriental charm. The hymn-like melody of the last song "Raise Your Voice" and the grand interpretation of the choir and orchestra pushed the whole album to a climax. Decca's recording is impeccable, transparent and feminine.
The latest limited edition of "Song of the Earth" recorded by Secret Garden comes with a DVD, including the special production of "Rare Mystery Garden", and the album (20 minutes) is produced by Mystery Garden. The latest hit recommendation of major radio stations around the world! Hins Cheung, a popular singer, was invited as the lead singer in Forever by My Side, and Russell Watson was the lead singer in the English version. It also includes the movie "2046", whose soundtrack "Searching for the Past" has never been made public. And "Lotus" (Lotus) is played as a souvenir by musical ghosts.

The style of the Mystery Garden has changed a lot this time. The original orchestration may add original classic songs performed by pop singers who are very commercialized in the record industry. There may be many fans who don't accept it. The Secret Garden's mysterious wandering songs have become approachable in this album. This album specially invited a number of guest singers to cooperate, changing the form of simple performance in the past. What's more, they have specially rewritten the classical music of the past few years into songs! Among them, elaine paige, the heroine of the musical Cat (who is also the singer of the famous song Memory in the play) sang What Are You to Me, which is adapted from The Song of the Secret Garden.

The music level of the whole album is quite high, and the melody of the movement is beautiful and exciting, which has both European national customs and an elegant and realistic feeling.

[Edit this paragraph] The mysterious garden is in China.
The first step on China.
1In August 1997, the secret garden, known as the Norwegian national treasure, set foot in China for the first time. Only a few small performances were held, and the audience responded enthusiastically. 101October 26th, they visited our country with the king and queen of Norway as representatives of outstanding Norwegian musicians and gave private performances. Due to the small scale of the two small performances, the China audience who have been longing for the Mystery Garden for a long time did not have the opportunity to witness the elegance of this famous music group. 1997 10, The Mystery Garden, as a special guest at the opening ceremony of the 6th Shanghai International Radio and Television Festival, went to China and held a large-scale performance in Shanghai, which was feasted by nearly 10,000 Shanghai audiences.
