Overview
Poul Reumert brings to life three monumental works of Scandinavian literature through dramatic recitation, accompanied by Statsradiofoniens Underholdningsorkester under the direction of Hans Peder Aser. This LP captures the emotional depth and cultural significance of Adam Oehlenschläger’s Guldhornene and Hakon Jarl, alongside Henrik Ibsen’s Terje Vigen, with music by J.P.E. Hartmann adding a rich, romantic texture.
Guldhornene: A cornerstone of Danish Romantic literature, Guldhornene symbolizes the interplay between myth and modernity, as Oehlenschläger transforms the historical theft of the golden horns into a profound meditation on human nature and divine intention.
Hakon Jarl: Another masterpiece by Oehlenschläger, this work delves into Nordic legend with evocative imagery and stirring rhythm, complemented by Hartmann’s early romantic compositions that mark his stylistic development.
Terje Vigen: Henrik Ibsen’s poignant narrative poem reflects themes of resilience, morality, and inner struggle. Written during a dark period of Ibsen's life, it offers a deeply personal yet universally resonant exploration of human endurance.
