“If there is any composer that Alan Gilbert conducts to perfection, it is Carl Nielsen.”
- The New Yorker
"Orchestral Choice ... the players respond collectively and as individuals. Handovers between string sections are at daringly quiet dynamic levels and are almost imperceptible. The woodwind combine to produce a fresh, well blended sonority."
- BBC Music Magazine
This is the second volume of the acclaimed Nielsen Project undertaken by conductor Alan Gilbert and the New York Philharmonic Orchestra in 2012. Gilbert sheds new light on Nielsen's uniquely Nordic symphonic sound and showcases Denmark’s national composer as one of the wildest and most dynamic composers of early modernism. On this 2014 album, Nielsen’s impressive symphonic debut work is combined with the epoch-making Fourth Symphony, written in the midst of the First World War and during a stormy period in the composer’s private life.
