About

The Will-o'-the-Wisps in Town is an extraordinary fairy tale cantata created by the Danish composer Per Nørgård and his close friend, author Suzanne Brøgger, on the basis of a little known fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen. This world première recording of the chamber version focuses on the charismatic "Marsh Witch", sung by mezzo-soprano Helene Gjerris who also premiered the work in Birmingham on the 200th anniversary of Hans Christian Andersen's birth.

The CD is accompanied by the half-hour documentary “A Journey in Fairy Tales and Music” following Nørgård, Brøgger, Gjerris and the Athelas Sinfonietta Copenhagen's work with The Will-o'-the-Wisps, produced by a Danish national TV station.

Innovative and imaginative” said Limelight Magazine of the orchestral version.
