Danish Radio Symphony Orchestra; Tivoli Concert Hall Orchestra; Niels Moller; Palle Kibsgaard; Thomas Jensen - The Thomas Jensen Legacy, Volume 16

Thomas Jensen Legacy now at Vol. 16. Broadcast performances of the Fifth and Sixth symphonies complete a Sibelius cycle within the Thomas Jensen collection on Danacord. Their dramatic sweep and control demonstrate the conductoris special affinity with this music, which he played under the composeris direction as a cellist. Jensen worked tirelessly for Danish composers throughout his career; this volume includes newly published performances of works by three composers, now almost unknown outside their home country, who emerged from the shadow cast by Carl Nielsen to write in a distinctively individual but still quintessentially Danish idiom.
