4.0 out of 5 stars A Fine Cycle of Nielsen Symphonies, 1 Jan 2003
By Bernard Davis "Bernard Davis" (Birmingham, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
Ole Schmidt leads the London Symphony Orchestra through a warm, thoughtful and at times brilliant cycle of Nielsen's Symphonies. He brings out the development of ideas throughtout the cycle well and presents them as a compelling complete vision.

While the performances are not so urgent at those of the Danish Radio Symphony Orchesta under Jensen in the 1950's this is perhaps a good thing. The music is given room to breathe. If anything the renditions get better as the cycle progresses. After a strong rendition of the first symphony there can be no disguising that Symphony No 2 is the weakest composition among the six. The performance of Symphony No 3, while good, is no match for the beautiful textures and atmospheres that Leonard Bernstein coaxed from the Royal Danish Orchestra in 1965. But in the later symphonies this set really hits its stride culminating with a convincingly argued Fifth and a Sixth with near perfect balance and grace.
The sound is good throughout.

Anyone who likes late nineteenth century symphonies, especially those of Dvorak will find this to be a rewarding introduction to the early twentieth century symphony, in fact Nielsen's First could almost be a Dvorak Tenth.

5.0 out of 5 stars Snap up this bargain., 11 Feb 2002
Thes performances date from the early 1970's,are excellently performed and recorded(Bob Auger).
Performances of the three later symphonies are paticularly vital and energetic.The only performances that better Schmidt's are the early 1950's Danish Radio SO versions;these are all mono and lose much because of inferior sound.
Regis wipe the floor with all the competition,most of which are at least twice this price.
