Description: CARL NIELSEN(1865–1931)The MasterworksVolume 1 - Orchestral Music Carl Nielsen's symphonies, concertos, and other orchestral works are Scandinavia's most powerful music. "Music is life, and like it inextinguishable," said Nielsen – himself born and raised in the Danish countryside as the son of a poor folk musician, but later recognized as one of the 20th century's greatest symphonists. This unique collection consists of prizewinning recordings by the Danish National Symphony Orchestra, which has preserved the authentic playing style since Carl Nielsen's time. The box includes 3 CDs, 1 SACD, and 2 DVDs. "If you haven't yet heard these performances, then this set will be a mandatory acquisition, particularly if you want to get a big chunk of Nielsen in a single shot" – ClassicsToday.com “10/10: These performances stand as the best modern recordings of these symphonies available” – ClassicsToday.com “It comes about as close to the ideal as I ever hope to hear, and it eclipses almost all others in its field. Dacapo's recording quality is top-drawer.” – Gramophone CARL NIELSEN(1865–1931)The MasterworksVolume 2 - Chamber & Instrumental Works This is the first complete collection of Carl Nielsen's masterly chamber works available on CD. With his spontaneous and imaginative music, the Danish national composer presents himself as the renewal of the classical tradition. Here are all the string quartets, violin sonatas and wind works in new, definitive recordings by top young Danish musicians. The piano works are played in unique fashion by Herman D. Koppel, who as a young man rehearsed them all with the composer himself. This box includes 4 CDs & 2 SACD “The impassioned, insightful performances shed light on fascinating repertory.” – The New York Times “The chamber music of the Danish composer Carl Nielsen, composed in the late 19th and early 20th century, has been enjoying a renaissance recently. The superb Danish String Quartet offers passionate, elegantly rendered interpretations of its compatriot's lyrical, characterful quartets. The six-disc set also features the genial Piano Trio in G, as well as works for wind; piano and violin sonatas; and pieces for solo violin and solo piano.” – Vivien Schweitzer
