Aarhus Symphony Orchestra

About
Tage Nielsen’s music is unique in its outstanding feeling for both subtleties of sonority and appropriate ‘action’. Although the music is modern and fresh, it is also music that works in and of itself. This new CD presents premiere recordings of the major work Passacaglia, the ‘alternative’ piano concerto Konzertstück and three other characteristic orchestral works by the recently deceased composer.
Reviews
There is much to be gained from these new recordings with their pure but direct colours and details, meaningful gestures and timing.
(Politiken, Denmark)
The performances by the two Århus orchestras are splendid and Dacapo's sound serves the music admirably.
