 Elvira Madigan interview @ Tartareandesire.com
But since Elvira Madigan was to feature songs in Swedish in the beginning it felt stupid to have a band name in English and since I would devote the project to art regardless of genre it would be stupid to have a typical dark or destructive name.
Elvira Madigan suits me better than I could ever have hoped since it actually turns out to sound better in English now that things are taking off a little bit more.
Now that Elvira Madigan has had quite a few songs released and recorded it is easier to draw inspiration from oneself at a larger extent than before.

 Get Ready to ROCK! Review of CD album by Swedish metal rock multi-instrumentalist Elvira Madigan called Angelis Daemonae
Elvira Madigan is a one-man (!) Swedish project, who decided to make covers of unsuspecting artists, such as Tori Amos, Chris de Burgh and the Scorpions with his album 'Angelis Daemonae'.
Elvira Madigan chooses to use a number of sounds, which are well arranged and create an extra dimension to the covered songs.
Mr Madigan is obviously a fan of Chris de Burgh and the sinister nature of some of this artist’s songs make them an obvious choice for cover by Elvira Madigan.

 NEW Goth Metal World - your gate to the dark side - Elvira Madigan - Angelis Deamonae - Wiccan Aftermath   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Elvira Madigan's "Angelis Deamonae - Wiccan Aftermath" is one the most groundbreaking, bold and innovative coversalbum ever released by any band or artist.
However, they are all treated in such a manner that they all sound like original Elvira Madigan material and the fact that most Metal-heads are completely oblivious to the majority of the original songs truly acts to the benefit of the release.
If one is familiar with the previous original Elvira Madigan releases I believe one will notice few differences in the musical direction between those titles and this.

 DVD Savant Review: My Life as A Dog & Elvira Madigan
Elvira Madigan is a moving period drama that tells the tale of a doomed love affair that flowered and died in Denmark during the year 1889.
When their money starts to run out the pair are reduced to selling off personal possessions (Elvira unwittingly sells a sketch of herself done by none other than Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec to a dealer for next to nothing), selling personal services (Elvira's dancing skills) and gambling (the Count getting involved in tavern-based arm wrestling competitions).
And Elvira's appeal for a world without borders where concern can be shown for every citizen regardless of their nationality is also of interest.

 DVD Times - Elvira Madigan
Such a seemingly facile construct prompts questions as to whether Elvira Madigan is merely a piece of shallow fluff, especially within the context of Swedish cinema as the time.

In fact, Elvira Madigan isn’t so far removed from Pram and other examples of the director’s work insofar as he’s more concerned with the minor aspects and details rather than telling a story in the traditional sense.

 Film Review: Elvira Madigan
The true story of Elvira Madigan personifies another symptom of the condition.
The camerawork, often hand held, feels the influence of the French Nouvelle Vague and the ethereal Pia Degermark, in her immaculately laundered summer dresses, conveys an innocence, tempered by experience.
Elvira may come from an underprivileged class, but her quiet dignity disguises steely resolve.

It pains me to make the announcement that Elvira Madigan (if this new album is any indication) is not one of them.
Elvira Madigan is the brainchild of Swede Marcus H. Madigan, who I (regardless of the condition of this album) feel is a very talented man in his own right, albeit a misdirected one.
He can obviously play his instruments and is very driven in what he is trying to do, but tragically his efforts fall horribly short with Angelis Deamonae.

Over the years, numerous critics and movie buffs have quoted "Elvira Madigan" as one of the most beautiful films ever made (one example of praise was from Pauline Kael, a truly classic critic of blunt honesty).

For instance, Sacred Harp music experienced a spurt of crossover popularity as a result of its appearance in the 2003 film Cold Mountain.
Some classical works that achieved crossover status in the twentieth century include the Canon in D by Johann Pachelbel, the Symphony No. 3 by Henryk Górecki, and the second movement of Mozart's Piano Concerto, K. 457 (from its appearance in a 1967 film entitled Elvira Madigan).
Even atonal music, which tends to be less popular among classical enthusiasts, has a kind of crossover niche, since (as Charles Rosen has noted) it is widely used in film and television scores "to depict an approaching menace".
