"This is fantastic. If you like your Nielsen big, bold and gutsy, then this is the cycle you need to own."
- ClassicsToday.com
"If I have it right, Gilbert is on something of a crusade. He seems enthralled by Nielsen's invigorating energy and equally so by his lyrical charm."
- Gramophone
"When these works were performed live, the New York press was uniformly positive. The DaCapo sound and engineering here is at its usual high mark. This recording sounds great ..."
