The Elves (Part 1). Here's Fantasy on the ears

Fantasy as a radio play has always one and the same problem: complexity. It is not just the sheer volume of many fantasy Schmöker problematic, but also and above all the variety of unusual names and places. On paper, can be so much better memorize the flux flies past his ear. Also Bernhard Hennens The Elves is marked by complex, fantastic worlds. Can succeed such an adaptation?
In fact, it falls hard at first to follow the links of history, but the radio play makes every effort not to overdo it with the personal. In addition, I kept the first scenes alone because of their intensity at the bar. Great listening cinema, how it is used by Marco Göllner and Co. Especially the battle kick off the trolls impressed me. But in order.

A coronation of Elfenkönigin Emerelle spoken by Daniela Hoffmann that I have positive memories than Jaheira from Baldur's Gate 2, runs entirely as planned. An attack troll smashes the ceremonial and hurt the queen difficult. The Swordmaster Ollowain (Bernd Rumpf) had counted me bombings, but such a thing! Along with the supposed traitor Lyndyn (Celine Fontanges), the Centaur Orimedes (Martin Kessler) and some other attempts to bring the queen to safety the Swordmaster. Meanwhile cemented the Troll Orgrim (Tilo Schmitz, a born Radebeuler) his power and Shaman Skanga feel with ingenuity and magic on gradually the fairy queen.

The first part of the elves' radio play do not dither and drives the narrative forward quickly so that attentive listening is strongly advised. The frantic escape, the strong antagonist Skanga and betrayal from within the company to keep this episode always exciting. The speakers operate at a high level, what can be expected but at a commercial production. Especially the trolls have it done to me (But elves are not smart. We are smart!). Otherwise, a lot of terrific voices, that we know from Hollywood synchros: Nicolas Cage and Vin Diesel, Julia Roberts, Michael Clarke Duncan, David Hasselhoff, etc! Oliver Kalkhofe surprised as Kobold. He seems to have found after the successful performances in Dorian Hunter pleasure in the radio play.

All in all, very good script, cover solid section fantastic, spokesman outstanding. If you feel like a long, intensive Fantasy series and loves properly produced radio plays, is the place to go.
