Thomas Jensen Legacy, Vol. 16 (1945-1963)
) | Label: DANACORD Catalog: DACOCD926 Format: COMPACT DISC Moller, Niels; Kibsgaard, Palle; Jensen, Thomas; Tivoli Concert Orchestra; Bentzon, Johan; Danish Radio Symphony Orchestra; AnonymousBroadcast 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 conductor’s special affinity with this music, which he played under the composer’s 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.
