Tekla Griebel Wandall (1866–1940) made her debut as a composer in the 1890s and she continued to compose throughout her life despite struggling with depression and poverty. This album of world premiere recordings spans songs performed at her debut to the esoteric vision of her later years. It features a superb line-up of rising Danish singers, breathing life into these vivid songs. From the macabre irony of a Heinrich Heine setting to the profound emotional journey of J.P. Jacobsen’s poetry, Griebel Wandall grapples with seemingly irreconcilable opposites while toying with both form and feeling.
