  • Peer Gynt: Suite No. 1 Instrumentation: Piccolo, 2 Flutes, 2 Oboes, 2
    Peer Gynt: Suite No. 1 Instrumentation: piccolo, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion, strings. Duration: 15 minutes in four movements. THE COMPOSER – EDVARD GRIEG (1843-1907) – Grieg spent much of the 1870s collaborating with famous countrymen authors. With Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson, the composer had hoped to mount a grand operatic history of King Olav Tryggvason but the two artists soon ran afoul of one another. A possible contributing factor was Grieg’s moonlighting project with Henrik Ibsen but, in truth, Bjørnson and the composer had been nursing hurt feelings for a while by the time the latter began to stray. THE MUSIC – As it turned out, Grieg’s back-up plan was more challenging than rewarding at first. He was to compose incidental music that expanded and stitched together the sections of Ibsen’s epic poem. This he did with delight, but soon found the restrictions of the theatrical setting more a burden than a help creatively. “In no case,” he claimed, “had I opportunity to write as I wanted” but the 1876 premiere was a huge success regardless. Grieg seized the chance to re-work some of the music and add new segments during the 1885 revival and did the same in 1902. The two suites he published in 1888 and 1893 likely represent his most ardent hopes for his part of the project and stand today as some of his most potently memorable work. Ibsen’s play depicted the globetrotting rise and fall of a highly symbolic Norwegian anti-hero and, in spite of all the aforementioned struggles, the author could not have chosen a better partner than Grieg to enhance the words with sound.

  • Jüri Reinvere Peer Gynt Opera from the Play by Henrik Ibsen Jüri Reinvere
    JÜRI REINVERE PEER GYNT OPERA FROM THE PLAY BY HENRIK IBSEN JÜRI REINVERE With the international acclaim of his first opera Puhdistus (Purge), premiered at Finnish National Opera in 2012, Esto- nian-born composer Jüri Reinvere gained his reputation as one of the most faithful, yet versatile composers of our time. Not only a composer but also the librettist of his own operas, his works and life have been shaped by three essential fac- tors: his childhood in an occupied country within the Soviet Union, his developing years in Finland and in Stockholm, and by his private teacher Käbi Laretei, pianist and novelist, and, most importantly, through the presence of her former husband, Ingmar Bergman; an environment which brought Reinvere close to the Nordic theatre tradition and has influ- enced him as a composer, a thinker and as a writer in the most personal way. Among others, he composed Opposite Shore, a radio opera, Northwest Bow, Written in the Sand, Four Quartets I, Requiem and Norilsk the Daffodils, most of these based on his own poetry, written originally in English, using different musical genres in unpredictable ways in an assessment of humanity and its polarities. Reinvere has been described as a “true cosmopolitan with Estonian roots” by Sofi Oksanen, on whose bestseller his opera Purge was based. In addition to his music, he has last year written contributions as political essayist for the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, as well earlier for radio, TV and various publications in Germany, Finland, Sweden and Estonia - all of them in multiple languages.

Abstract: For Den Nationale Scene’s Peer Gynt, directed by Kjersti Horn, audiences were promised a ‘controversial, vital and nightmarish version of the original play’, an experience of it ‘from a completely new angle’, as well as a show which speaks to universal human concerns. This review evaluates the extent to which these two objectives were achieved, with particular reference to ongoing European politics and the aesthetic traditions of contemporary European theatre.

  • Peer Gynt in China and Its Adaptations
    KWOK-KAN TAM Chineseness in Recreating Ibsen: Peer Gynt in China and Its Adaptations Ibsen was introduced to China about one hundred years ago, first as a champion of individualism, when the Chinese were in need of a new identity after the collapse of Confucianism. Ibsen’s individualism gave the Chinese a source for a new identity, in which a person could define him/herself as an individual, free to choose and have the right to defy social impositions. Against such a background, Ibsen’s plays such as An Enemy of the People, A Doll’s House and Ghosts became popular in China in the early twentieth century because of their radical social messages for the Chinese revolution that changed China from dynastic rule to modern democracy. For such a change, drastic refor- mation had to occur in politics as well as in culture, especially in people’s concept of the self and nation. In the early years of reception in the 1910s-1940s, Peer Gynt was not considered representative of Ibsen’s social ideas and hence did not attract the attention of the Chinese in days of cultural turmoil. Later in the early years of socialist China, Peer Gynt was condemned for promoting the idea of “thyself- ishness,” which only trolls, not human beings, would adopt as a philosophy of life (Xiao 1949: 5, Tam 1986: 210–211, Tam 2001: 129). As Peer says, The Gyntish self – it is that host of wants, desires that stir one most, – the Gyntish self, – it is a sea of whims and needs and urgency, whatever stirs my breast precisely, and thereby makes me live – concisely.

  • THE COLLECTED POEMS of HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam
    1 THE COLLECTED POEMS OF HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam 2 PREFACE With the exception of a relatively small number of pieces, Ibsen’s copious output as a poet has been little regarded, even in Norway. The English-reading public has been denied access to the whole corpus. That is regrettable, because in it can be traced interesting developments, in style, material and ideas related to the later prose works, and there are several poems, witty, moving, thought provoking, that are attractive in their own right. The earliest poems, written in Grimstad, where Ibsen worked as an assistant to the local apothecary, are what one would expect of a novice. Resignation, Doubt and Hope, Moonlight Voyage on the Sea are, as their titles suggest, exercises in the conventional, introverted melancholy of the unrecognised young poet. Moonlight Mood, To the Star express a yearning for the typically ethereal, unattainable beloved. In The Giant Oak and To Hungary Ibsen exhorts Norway and Hungary to resist the actual and immediate threat of Prussian aggression, but does so in the entirely conventional imagery of the heroic Viking past. From early on, however, signs begin to appear of a more personal and immediate engagement with real life. There is, for instance, a telling juxtaposition of two poems, each of them inspired by a female visitation. It is Over is undeviatingly an exercise in romantic glamour: the poet, wandering by moonlight mid the ruins of a great palace, is visited by the wraith of the noble lady once its occupant; whereupon the ruins are restored to their old splendour.
