Heart Wounds

The inspiration for the program is a sad but true story that took place in Jutland (Denmark) in the early 18th century. The Danish writer Steen Steensen Blicher recorded it in his moving tale "Der Strumpfkrämer" (The Stocking Peddler). Morten Schuldt-Jensen has musically retold and expanded the story. The program unfolds at the intersection of human emotions and the religious.
