The Danish Late Romantic composer P.E. Lange-Müller is best known for his more than 200 songs and music for many plays.

The latter piece has won the status of national comedy in Denmark.

Reviews
FONO FORUM STERN DES MONATS

"Die beiden Solisten und die wieder einmal glänzend aufgelegten Radiosinfoniker uas Kopenhagen treffen genau den rechten Ton. Die Einspielung kann interpretatorisch wie technisch als vorbildlich gelten" (Fono Forum)

"Affectionate interpretations and fine sound put the icing on a sweet, nicely decorated little cake" (Classics Today)

"Eine kraftvolle Stimme der Spätromantik, von der man gerne noch mehr hörte" (Klassik Heute)
