About

J.P.E. Hartmann was a central figure in the Danish music of the nineteenth century. He composed in all genres and his music spans three cultural epochs. It was in Danish National Romanticism that J.P.E. Hartman was to achieve his most striking compositional results and the choral work Vølvens Spådom (Prophecy of the Seeress) is one of Hartmann’s undisputed masterpieces.

The work is based on a medieval poem about Nordic mythology and is typified by that special "Nordic sound” that Hartman made distinctive through the use of elements from folk music and has, until our own day, been part of the great legacy of Danish music. Vølvens Spådom marked the culmination of Hartmann’s ”Nordic style", and in the last thirty years of his long life it was to become his most frequent performed work. In 2006 Vølvens Spådom was chosen as one of the 12 works that represent the Danish Cultural Canon.

On this new release you can experience an exciting recording with the Danish National Symphony Orchestra / DR and chief conductor Thomas Dausgaard performing J.P.E. Hartmann’s unforgettable masterpiece. A previous Dacapo release of Hartmann’s works performed by the same artists was well received.
