The Band was founded together with Geir Jenssen. He left after the second album in 1990 and pursued a solo career in ambient music as Biosphere.
During the years from 1985 to present (2006) Bel Canto have been taking breaks as Anneli Drecker has pursued a solo career and done concerts with other bands and artists (including touring with A-Ha), as well as playing in films and theatre plays. Nils Johansen, on the other hand, has composed music for film and television as well as working and performing with his other band, Vajas.
21 Years after the band was founded they are still active. In the fall of 2006 they continued to do concerts, primarily in Norway.
In 2007 Bel Canto will continue to work together, both by writing new material and by doing more gigs. At the same time both Anneli Drecker and Nils Johansen will also work on other projects. Latest update by 2022 is that Bel Canto are currently working on their next album.

Bel Canto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Et oui les branches vacillent
Mystère des phigénies ici danse l`esprit
Dans l`air de la nuit, cheri dis moi oui
Sous les arbres de la nuit
So did you ever wonder about the tree
How it can hold such innocent mystery
Well, did you ever wonder how it would be
To be a holy moment, to be a tree
Ici, danse l`espirit dans l'air de la nuit
Et oui les branches vacillent
Mystère des phigénies
So did you ever wonder about the tree
How it can hold such radiant mystery
Well, did you ever wonder how it would be
To be and hold the spirit of, the spirit of a tree
The lyrics to Bel Canto's song "Tree" paint a vivid picture of a mystical night in the forest. The trees are alive in the air of the night, and their branches sway mysteriously. The mysterious essence of the forest dances in the night air, inviting the beloved to say yes to the enchantment of the moment. Under the trees of the night, the spirit of the forest and the lovers merge in a wondrous, transcendent moment.
The lyrics invite the listener to ponder the wonder of the tree, which holds a "radiant mystery." It speaks of the tree as a vessel of the holy and describes the lovely feeling of being one, holding the spirit of a tree. The lyrics' beauty lies in their ability to transport the listener into a mystical and enchanting moment of being one with nature.
Bel Canto's "Tree" captures the essence of nature's magical dance in the air of the night. The song is a beautiful ode to the power of nature, and the wonder it can inspire in us.
