Whether it is due to the short, intense summer and the light nights is hard to say; but Danish music is full of serenades. The songs of Romanticism in particular cultivate the emotion and yearning of the summer light and the mystery of night. There is also something charmingly chaste, and a mixture of happiness and melancholy, in many of the Danish serenades and love songs. It is rarely a matter of life or death – more often simply of the girl next door. Or else the mere dream of love is actually enough. In this interpretation by tenor Mathias Hedegaard and Danish National Chamber Orchestra you can hear how the beautiful Romantic songs and serenades are fortunately returning in fine style to a new generation.
