Breathless Moment is based on the antique story about Iphis and Anaxarete as told in Ovid’s Metamorphoses (Bk. XIV, 698-771): The cold hearted princess Anaxarete ignores the wooing and persistent declarations of love from the young man Iphis. Finally, he gives up and hangs himself broken hearted. Anaxarete is punished by the Gods and ‘the stone that had long existed in her heart possessed her body’ – she is turned into stone.
Breathless Moment is created by the Danish artist duo Klejs & Rønsholdt and released in a collaboration between Danish National Vocal Ensemble, Dacapo Records and CAVI/Aarhus University with kind support from Danish Arts Foundation.
