Eddan - in music

[Ard Ri]

Mats Wendt has composed a masterpiece called "Eddan, the Invincible Sword of the Elf Smith," which sets to music most of the Edda. If you enjoy Wagner you will appreciate this massive work, which conjures up the great beauty and majesty of the North and its gods. Great stuff which has even been performed at Bayreuth! You can listen to all 16 + hours at http://www.eddan.net/ or order it via MP3 download in higher quality. An amazing work of genius by this young Scandinavian composer.

[Johan Björnsson]

The group Sequentia also has done music with Eddan, and the Rheingold curse, as it´s theme;
