Rued and Dora: 'Catholic in the head'?
Langgaard Hall
A Catholic thread runs through Rued Langgaard's life and music, which can be experienced in the piano work Sponsa Christi tædium vitæ (The Bride of Christ) BVN 297, played in Dora - Summer 1913.
After the identity of Rued Langgaard's great love, Dora From, became known in 2017, it turned out that Langgaard's interest in Catholicism is very much linked to Dora.
Lecture by Bendt Viinholt Nielsen.
