Peter Arnold Heise and Peter Erasmus Lange-Muller represent the rapturous spring and the melancholy autumn of Danish romantic song; and these two discs should go some way towards reinstating this neglected music into the recital repertoire, just as contemporary Norwegian, Swedish and Finnish songs have been finding their place.
Heise, who wrote 300 songs in his short lifetime (1830-79) is the real standard-bearer of Danish song, and Sten Byriel’s bass, though not always clearly focused, enjoys the wonderful facility of melody and word-setting, the harmonic and structural confidence of the five Lenau settings which resemble a modest Schumann Liederkreis. Although these, and the so-called Erotic Songs of Emil Aarestrup, reveal Heise’s sophistication and mastery of his medium, it is the simpler, earlier settings of Danish and Norwegian poetry that are perhaps the most moving and most distinctive: songs like Ibsen’s striding The miner, and Bjornstjerne Bjornson’sArne’s Song, where melody rises on eagle’s wings, thermaling above the piano’s broken chords.
Byriel’s sepulchral bass responds well to the darker, more melancholic writing of Lange-Muller (1850-1926), whose German-language settings of Heine include a wandering, Angst-filled Der Zimmermann, in telling contrast to Schumann’s more angrily dramatic carpenter of death in the Op. 24 Liederkreis. Here, too, are the Emil Nolde-like skyscapes, in turn sombre and lurid, of Thor Lange’s cloud songs; and Lange’s translations of the Slavic poems which so appealed to Lange-Muller.
These discs form a natural pair for the collector. But if you are rationing yourself to a single purchase, then the second recital, by the irresistible soprano Inger Dam-Jensen is the one to go for. Here is the best of Heise: his exultant Springsong in Autumn and the Springsong of the young lark – a rippling paean of praise to the great Nordic thaw.
Heise’s seven Songs of Dyveke of 1879 – a brightly coloured pre-Raphaelite tapestry of Holger Drachmann’s ballads about the ups and downs of falling in love with royalty (King Christian II in this case) – is a thrilling, inexplicably neglected cycle of constantly self-renewing melodic invention. Dam-Jensen and her imaginative accompanist Christen Stubbe Teglbjerg, show how superbly Heise writes for the voice. This disc also offers more of Lange-Muller’s sympathetic and poignant settings of his friend Thor Lange’s translations of Russian, Czech and Serbian poetry.'
