Editorial Reviews

The music of Carl Nielsen (1865-1931) did not receive wide currency outside his native Denmark until after World War II. At the time, Jean Sibelius was the most famous and oft-performed Scandinavian composer, particularly in Britain. However, the appearance of Nielsen's Third Symphony on 13 78-rpm vinyl discs in England in 1949 changed all that, propelling Nielsen to the status of a world-class composer. Dutton Laboratories has given us here the original '40s recordings of the Third and Fifth Symphonies performed by the Danish State Radio Symphony, brilliantly remastered for the digital age. The overall sound has a muted quality, but nothing detracts from these poignant performances. This is the way Nielsen was meant to be played. Highly recommended for absolutely everybody. --Paul Cook
