MARBECKS COLLECTABLE: Nielsen: Symphonies Nos 5 & 6 'Sinfonia semplice'

"Splendid readings and Blomstedt's lively imagination and attention to mood and instrumental detail make these recordings endlessly rewarding. They sound better than ever"
(MusicWeb Sept 2004)

"Blomstedt and the Danish Radio players clearly know the music like the back of their hands. This allows time and space for tense and memorable characterisation. This can be heard in the Fifth in the dazzle of birdsong at 6.30 in the first movement. Armies march across the Nielsen landscape captured in a capacious soundstage that accommodates both massive climaxes and spot-lit solos - and there are many of these." MusicWeb
