Norway. The 2019 documentary 'Approaching the Maelström' follows the process leading up to a recording of American composer Philip Glass's composition 'A Descent into the Maelström'. The work is based on American writer Edgar Allan Poe's 1841 short story of two fishermen caught in torrents raging between the mountainous islands of Lofoten, Norway. Glass's work, originally a choral piece for the Australian Dance Theatre, was only ever performed at the Adelaide Festival of Arts in 1986. Over thirty years later, in 2019, Beacon Isle Films recorded a symphonic arrangement of Glass's work, performed by the Arctic Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir conducted by Tim Weiss with soprano Berit Norbakken Solset as the soloist. Their recording was made against the backdrop of Lofoten's spectacular landscape: the very surroundings that inspired Poe's story. Moreover, this inspiring documentary features a rare interview with Glass.
