"A feast of previously unpublished broadcast recordings, focused on music for the stage and including much repertoire otherwise unrecorded. The main work is a three-act comedy by Frederick Rung, telling the story of The Three-Cornered Hat with a light touch and delightful duets and arias. Rare overtures, suites and scenes fill out a rich portrait of the Danish operatic scene in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, completed by a pair of powerful mid-century orchestral pieces".

"The latest in Danacord's twofer-the-price-of-one releases devoted to the art of Thomas Jensen offers an operatic rarity. It's Frederik Rung's The Three-Cornered Hat, heard here in the arrangement for radio by Thyge Thygesen ... It's a charmer, features a strong cast, and is delightfully orchestrated, a three-act comic opera with strong lyrical and buffo elements that also features a strong, energising role for the chorus ... Some of the country's best and most distinctive singers take part ... The remainder of the programme is devoted to more things operatic: preludes, overtures and scenes ... The value in a twofer such as this is the variety of styles and imperatives in the works ... Jensen can be heard here in a raft of operatic material or in music that aspires to the theatrical condition. He seldom fell below a certain standard and maintains discipline and energy throughout a long and engrossing programme. Fine notes and transfers as per usual from this source".
