5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Introduction to the Genius of Nielsen, 24 Feb 2008
By Mr. Mark A. Meldon (Somerset UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
I sometimes wonder why Nielsen is no so well known as Mahler and Sibelius, despite the robust, exciting music he left us. This CD actually contains Symphonies 1, 2, and 3, plus the Maskarade Overture and the Alladin Suite, all for a bargain price.

Recorded between 1989 and 1991, the "Penguin Guide" really rates this recording by Herbert Blomstedt and the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, with, in my view, full justification. You benefit from superlative sound quality and this is important, with such "busy" music. Well worth a try, then move on to the other "Double Decca" set.

5.0 out of 5 stars truly great, 12 Jun 2009
no pleasing some,I guess,judging from a previous comment.This is the best Neilsen on record,along with the companion set ,also a Decca double.Blomstedt also has a set on EMI,but this is better by far.Don't hesitate,great Dane.

1.0 out of 5 stars Sterile playing and no passion, 22 Mar 2008
By Mr. G. Yeloff "jyoung" (London uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I am seriously baffled why the Blomstedt SF recording of Nielsen's 3rd symphony gets such good reviews and is nearly always recommended as the best modern recording. I listened to it recently and the phrasing is rushed with no passion at all like they are playing on autopilot.It's sterile playing,technically good,but so what! Where is the passion and feeling? I urge readers of this to listen to either Chung on Bis or Schonwandt on Dacapo-both fantastic in different ways. Just listen to the latter's authentic Danish characterful tangy wind playing! Chung also has real passion for the music and the Gothenburg playing is wonderful with real fire but also the passion. The later Jarvi recording on DG with Gothenburg is not as good and is a bit tepid-though much better than Blomstedt.
Samples of Chung or Schonwandt can be best found on American Amazon.com-short but give you an idea what I mean. I have decided to use the Blomstedt recording as a tablemat it is just so awful.
