Carl Nielsen: The Symp... - Royal Danish Orchestra - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

The Royal Danish Orchestra’s performing history stretches back to 1448, making it the oldest orchestra inthe world, with Carl Nielsen counted amongst its distinguished former members. His 16 years of experience as one of the orchestra’s second violinists helped shape him as a composer, and it was this ensemble that introduced his symphonies to the world. From the ‘imminent storm of genius’ of the First Symphony to the disarming outlandishness of the Sixth, Nielsen’s symphonies are recognised as among the greatest in their genre, heard here in recordings made with a league of conductors whose bond with Denmark and Nielsen’s music is second to none.
