Product Description

Despite giving titles to the majority of his symphonies, Danish composer Carl Nielsen was often vague about what influenced each work. Nevertheless he was a master symphonist and his music is mesmerising, combining propulsive energy with lyrical invention. These recordings, made during Sir Colin Davis Indian summer with the orchestra, are acknowledged to be amongst the finest recordings ever made of this repertoire, receiving numerous awards. The symphonies were originally released between 2011 and 2013 and will now be made available together for the first time as a beautifully packaged 3 SACD box set, including one Pure Audio Blu-ray disc.

REVIEWS

'passionate accounts' --David Cairns - The Sunday Times, 5th April 2015

Clear-eyed performances of a composer who can easily be made to sound crude

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 November 2016

Much posthumous gratitude to Colin Davis for these natural, idiomatic, clear-eyed performances of a composer who can easily be made to sound crude. Not here. Life-enhancing

Terrific sound especially the Blue Ray
