Margrete Grarup - PH på Ny (2019)

The singer Margrete Grarup and pianist Michael Sunding have fine tuned the music to Poul Henningsen's lyrics and found room for a lot of enthusiasm - and with them behind the wheel, this piece of Danish history with its richness of words and tones is now running at full speed and finest form, while the rhythm rocks. in the springs.

Poul Henningsen has never driven the straight road - it doesn't make the music here either. While the rhythm rocks in the springs, the trip goes from the main road and out of exciting, winding side roads!
Margrete Grarup and Michael Sunding have fine tuned the music to PH's lyrics and found room for a lot of enthusiasm - with them behind the wheel, this piece of Danish history with its wealth of words now moves on in full speed and finest form. The duo is born with a release where the interpretations get juice and power, and the playfulness runs free. It will be published in February 2019 and marks the start of the celebration of PH's 125th birthday later that year.

Looking at PH's expression as a copywriter, the range is enormous with everything from nursery rhymes to revysatire, from fun to socializing, from acid to base - and in the same way, Grarup and Sunding span the music to emphasize the natural PH value of the words. They take their own musical backgrounds into the old shows and lead them in time with loving smiles, the joy of recognition, small surprises, sensitivity and finesse. There should be something for everyone, as PH writes: "There is no bad taste. There is only good taste and it is bad. ”
