Nielsen: The Complete Symphonies

This collection includes recordings made during Sir Colin Davis' tenure with the London Symphony Orchestra, often regarded as some of the finest interpretations of Nielsen's work. The symphonies were originally released between 2011 and 2013 and are now available together for the first time.

Carl Nielsen's compositions exhibit a unique blend of energy and lyrical invention. Though he provided titles for most of his symphonies, Nielsen remained somewhat ambiguous about their influences. This set showcases his mastery as a symphonist and highlights the depth of his musical expression.

The collection features a total playing time of 3 hours and 21 minutes, with recordings captured live at the Barbican. The set is produced by James Mallinson and engineered by Classic Sound Ltd, ensuring high-quality sound for listeners.

For collectors, this release is a comprehensive portrayal of Nielsen's symphonic output, offering both audio and visual experiences through the included Blu-ray.
