About:
Svend Nielsen is a thoroughly lyrical composer. In recent years dramatic undercurrents of expression have surfaced in his music. However, Nielsen's compositions remain essentially impressionistic, characterized as they are by lucid scoring and a refined sense of structure.

Reviews

"The orchestra plays with great refinement and total sensivity" (Fanfare)

"The sensitive performance by the Aarhus Sinfonietta under Elgar Howarth is impeccable throughout, with a keen sense of the weight and importance of each line. This is understated, enigmatic music which greatly repays close, careful listening" ***** BBC Music Magazine
