King Frederik Ix Conducts - Frederik Ix -king- - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

The Danish King Frederik IX’s preoccupation with music must be described as atypical, in fact, unique for a member of a royal house, since it is hardly possible to cite other examples of ruling monarchs with orchestral conducting as their whose favourite pastime. As a conductor, Frederik IX was self-taught, yet he favoured technically difficult challenges in the great symphonic repertoire; in particular music from Wagner’s operas gave the King’s musical activities a certain aura. This limited edition set celebrates the close monarch/orchestra relationships between King Frederik IX and the Royal Danish Orchestra and the Danish National Symphony Orchestra.
