Where it came from
Erlkönigs Tochter, or Elverskud, is a seminal work of Danish Romanticism composed by Niels Wilhelm Gade in 1854. Based on traditional Danish folk ballads, the cantata tells a tragic, supernatural tale centered on Oluf, who meets his fate after encountering the Elf-King's daughter on his wedding eve. Gade, a central figure in 19th-century Scandinavian music, utilized a blend of lyrical melody and dramatic orchestral textures to capture the eerie, atmospheric nature of the original folklore.
This 2018 recording on the Naxos label is part of a broader initiative to preserve and promote the Danish choral tradition through modern, historically informed performances. Featuring the Concerto Copenhagen under the direction of Lars Ulrik Mortensen and a distinguished ensemble of soloists, the production aims to strip away later Romantic additions to favor the clarity and transparency of Gade’s original vision. It was received as a significant scholarly and artistic achievement, praised for its rhythmic vitality and the precise, nuanced work of the DR Vokalensemblet.
