Dreamers' Circus & Dr Børnekoret Langt Ud' I Skoven
Danmarks Radio
Review by Chris Nickson
This has slipped under the radar, even for many of the Nordic band’s fans. It’s the trio (with a few friends), plus a Danish children’s choir, performing largely traditional songs for children – a interesting subset of Danish folk.
It’s not something that’s been slapped together for an album and performance; there’s plenty of time and imagination gone into the arrangements, and everything soars with the usual Dreamers’ Circus sense of melody. They seem to reach for memorable tunes without thinking, as the opener, “En Pige Gik I Ende,” so ably demonstrates.
"Ride Ranke" (excerpt)
The combination of band and juvenile choir, singing in Danish, probably means niche appeal. But don’t write it off as a novelty. A side road, perhaps, but a joy, nonetheless.
