Wilhelm Peterson-Berger — Arnljot — Act 2 "In the wild forest" (score)

Wilhelm Peterson-Berger (1867–1942), Arnljot (1907–1909). Opera in three acts.

Second act of the opera, taking place at the Järpströmmen river where Arnljot spends his time in exile having killed his rival Gudfast Grimsson at the thing.

From a radio broadcast of the 17 December 2010 performance at the Royal Opera House, Stockholm. The first recording of the original non-edited version by Peterson-Berger (albeit missing the scene with the Jämtlanders) since the 1940s.
