Nielsen
Brahms: Violin Concerto; Nielsen: Symphony No.5 (C Major)
Blomstedt leads a distinguished Nielsen Fifth; the Brahms is less memorable [JQ]
Nielsen: Flute Concerto, Symphony No. 3 (Chandos)
Vibrant performances of Nielsen’s masterpieces, but the competition is formidable [LW]
Nielsen: Symphony No 3 and Flute Concerto (Chandos)
Good performances but no special interpretative insights [PBW]
Nielsen: Symphony No. 5, Flute Concerto (Hallé)
(Déjà Review) Brilliant performances of brilliant music, in other words a great buy [NHo]
Nielsen: Symphony No. 3 & Flute Concerto (Chandos)
An essential Nielsen recording that crackles with the chaotic energy of the life-force [NC]
Phases (Musica Solis)
Impeccably performed easy-listening entertainment in the best sense of those words, but the playing time could have been more generous [GF]
Julens ljus (The Light of Christmas) (Proprius)
(Déjà Review) I suspect that many listeners will make attractive ‘finds’ among these 24 songs and the execution of them leaves little extra to be desired [GF]
Thomas Jensen (conductor) Legacy Vol 19 (Danacord)
Broadcasts of Nielsen concertos from unfamiliar soloists head a variety-packed twofer [JW]
The Forgotten Danish Pianist Arne Skjold Rasmussen (Danacord)
Forgotten but Restored: the art of a fluent, fleet but nervous Danish pianist and Nielsen specialist [JW]
Nielsen: Aladdin Suite (Naxos)
(Déjà Review) An excellent introduction to Nielsen’s marvellous music. Established Nielsen enthusiasts should also add this splendid anthology to their collections without delay [JQ]
Nielsen: The Symphonies (Deutsche Grammophon)
A distinguished addition to the Nielsen discography [JQ]
Nielsen: Violin Concerto & Symphony 4 (Chandos)
Invigorating accounts [LW]
Launy Grøndahl (conductor) Legacy Vol. 7 (Danacord)
The Grøndahl legacy series reaches volume 7 with a question mark or two [JW]
Thomas Jensen (conductor) Legacy Vol 14 (Danacord)
New and adventurous repertoire from Thomas Jensen’s broadcasts [JW]
