About
The classical figures of Medea and Lysistrata have captivated creative artists for centuries. The latest of them is Steingrímur Rohloff, an Icelandic-German composer who found his sensual, crystal-clear musical voice while studying with Gerard Griséy in Paris. The specially configured music recorded here benefits from Tuva Semmingsen's ravishing voice and Rohloff's decade of collaboration with Esbjerg Ensemble – to beautiful, resonant and dramatic effect.

Nov/Dec 2021
The performances here are superb. Semmingsen is called upon to create a wide range of voices and styles, which she accomplishes triumphantly. Esbjerg Ensemble, named after its home town in Denmark, is a chamber orchestra that is very comfortable with the demands of Rohloff’s imaginative scoring. Along with conductor Henrik Vagn Christensen they give their all to the performance.
