Edda is one of the most famous seals and the most important source of a norse mythology. The up-to-date putting into action of this enormous song collection by POETA MAGICA describes Music inspired by "The Edda". The ensemble in all of Europe for cross-border interpretations of old music known gave reasons for the combination of all sorts of music styles to the "medieval World music". In this unique connection of musical inspiration and instrumental virtuosity POETA MAGICA lets the gods, heroes and legends in the CD "EDDA Vol. I" turn alive with the intellectual eye again. The oldest ballads of Scandinavia, traditional Folksmelodien and compositions of one's own resound as multifacetedly as the nordic landscape: Traditional with Scandinavian instruments; Age rot classic with orchestra instrumentation, with influences of jazz and New. Recitations from Edda in old Icelandic and song texts in Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish and open up new horizons of the God world of the high north English.

Musically POETA MAGICA walks along new ways and stays with it its special style faithfully. The Nyckelharpa forms the instrumental main emphasis: So a komlettes Nyckelharpaorchester and for the first time the worldwide biggest Nyckelharpa, a big bass Nyckelharpa for use developed by Holger Funke, come and a Nyckelharpa with quarter tone row at this CD. Well-known guest musicians from Scandinavia like e.g. note Hulbaekmo (Kalenda Maya) from Norway played a part in this project.

POETA MAGICA sets new standards with this CD in the area of the world music.
