Description
“(Springtime) enchanting pieces to which everyone responds … yet hardly performed outside Denmark….will give many hours of delight” (© Penguin Guide) “If you have ever wondered why Nielsen’s music inspires such devotion among his followers … marvellous performances, excellently recorded … unobtrusive genius of the work – a discovery as simple and miraculous as the sun on your face on a spring morning … should surely be a huge success in this country … the Aladdin Suite …. might well enjoy something like the popularity of Peer Gynt.
