Immerse yourself in the captivating world of Poul Ruders with his compelling album, "Ruders: Gong, Tundra, Således saae Johannes & Symphony." Released on June 1, 1993, under the Chandos label, this album is a testament to Ruders' mastery of traditional folk genres, offering a rich and diverse musical experience.
The album opens with the "Solar Trilogy," a trio of pieces that include "Gong," "Tundra," and "Således Saae Johannes (Thus Saw St John)." These compositions set the stage for the main event: Ruders' Symphony No. 1, titled "Himmelhoch jauchzend – zum Tode betrubt" (Ecstatically high – deathly sad). This symphony is a journey through a range of emotions and musical styles, from the jubilant and fantastical to the tranquil and dolcissimo, culminating in the somber "Maschera Funerale."
With a duration of 1 hour and 14 minutes, this album is a substantial body of work that showcases Poul Ruders' ability to weave intricate melodies and harmonies into a cohesive and engaging musical narrative. Whether you're a longtime fan of traditional folk music or a newcomer looking to explore the genre, this album is sure to captivate and inspire.
