Under their guest conductor Paavo Järvi, the Philharmonia Orchestra perform three characteristically fiery works by the Danish composer Carl Nielsen; the Flute and Clarinet Concertos, and the Aladdin Suite.
The concerto solo parts are performed by two of the orchestra's principal players - flautist Samuel Coles and clarinettist Mark van de Wiel.
"Samuel Coles neatly personifies the fastidious Gilbert Jesperson, maintaining elegance and integrity…Mark van de Wiel is equally convincing as the choleric Aage Oxenvad, responding angrily to the orchestra, and in the virtuoso cadenzas equally capable of picking a fight with himself" BBC Music Magazine, June 2017 ****
"a true virtuoso with a vibrant tone… What makes this recording outstanding, however, is his obvious rapport with the rest of the orchestra and conductor Paavo Jarvi and the clarity of the sound" MusicWeb International, May 2017
"Paavo Järvo presides over a splendidly stylish and invigorating Nielsen anthology featuring the Philharmonia at the top of its game throughout." Gramophone Magazine, June 2017
