About Langgaard - Antikrist
Review It has been described as a moralistic fable. Yet Langgaard understood the cyclical element of 'prevailing social standards' and his opera is a commentary on repression giving way to excess and the due process of moral revision, Imaginatively staged in Copenhagen's old Riding School, Antikrist receives an outstanding performance with fully committed singers such as Poul Elming, Susanne Resmark, Camilla Nylund and Jon Ketilsson. Thomas Dausgaard directs a sumptuous account of the incendiary score. Dacapo provides excellent booklet notes and two illuminating documentaries. This production reveals Antikrist as a formidable modern opera which deserves to be widely known. -- La Scena Musicale, W.S. Habington, May 2008 Product Description This religious mystery opera by Rued Laggard stars Sten Byriel, Anne Margrethe Dahl, Paul Elming, and Helene Gjerris, with teh Danish National Symphony Orchestra & Choir.
