Based on Henry Rider Haggard’s novel of the same name, August Enna’s Cleopatra immediately followed Heksen (The Witch), his most successful opera. + In his Violin Concerto, Enna stands with one foot in Nordic music and with the other in the Italian opera. In the second movement, we encounter the work’s greatest surprise: it is introduced by beginning of the famous aria “Vesti la giubba” from Leoncavallo’s Pagliacci, which Enna develops into a highly expressive cantilena. + In his Symphonic Fantasy (1930-31), the composer’s talent for instrumentation, virtually unrivaled in the Danish music of his times, stands out.
