Carl Nielsen

  • #ClassicsaDay #FunintheSun Week 1

    Aug 5th, 2022 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicsaDay, Carl Nielsen, Carl Ruggles, Franz Joseph Haydn, Thomas Arne, Twitter

    We couldn’t let the season go by without having some kind of summer-related theme. For this August, the Classics a Day team chose to catch some rays. And, to find out how many classical composers did so with their music. Of course, any summer-related topic is fair game, too. Here are my posts for the […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #ClassicalNine Week 4

    Sep 28th, 2018 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicalNine, #ClassicsaDay, Arnold Bax, Carl Nielsen, Classical music, Domenico Scarlatti, Osvaldo Golijov, Twitter, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

    September is the ninth month of the year. And so the #ClassicsaDay team decided to make the number the theme. For September 2018, the challenge is to post classical works that have to do with the number nine.  I chose to alternate between nonets, opus nine compositions and works with a catalog number of nine. […]

    A program of music for a solo instrument (unless it’s the piano) usually has limited appeal to the general classical music lover. But this release of music for the low horn should really be the exception — because both the music and the performance is exceptional. The low horn is part of the French horn […]

  • Commotio – organ music from the interwar period

    Jul 27th, 2015 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Acis, Carl Nielsen, CD Review, Christian Wilson, contemporary classical music, Hans Gal, Maurice Duruflé, Olivier Messiaen, Oskar Lindberg

    Organist Christian Wilson chose an unusual program for his latest release, Commotio. Subtitled “organ works of the interwar period,” it features compositions written between 1924 and 1931. Wilson’s choices demonstrate the wide variety of styles in play during that tightly circumscribed time frame. Some composers are familiar, others less so. Olivier Messiaen and Maurice Duruflé […]

  • Nielsen Symphonies Shine in New SACD

    Oct 22nd, 2012 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Alan Gilbert, Carl Nielsen, CD Review, Classical music, Dacapo, New York Philharmonic, orchestral, SACD

    Carl Nielsen was one of the great symphonists of the 20th century, as this live recording readily demonstrates. His second symphony, “The Four Temperaments” features four movements, each depicting a different mood. Four different modes of expression. Alan Gilbert and the New York Philharmonic take full advantage of the score, and offer up an exciting […]
