Carl Nielsen - Flute Concerto (1926)

[@PentameronSV]

0:06 - 1st movement 11:39 - 2nd movement

Interesting . . . I've been listening to his 6 symphonies over the last few days; Nielsen was really good - deserves a lot more air and hall time than he gets. Thanks to people like you who post on YT.

[@neilwalsh3977]

Yes, the symphonies are actually quite extraordinary, daring and well written.

[@neilwalsh3977]

You're quite right. He's been hidden. The more I listen, the more impressed by his craft and his daring

[@neilwalsh3977]

17:58, pairing flute with timp. What a mad, brilliant idea!

Bass Trombone excerpt at 4:03

[@neilwalsh3977]

And cool brass opening to 2nd movment. This is phenomenally interesting stuff

[@neilwalsh3977]

At 8:46, you see that Nielsen was willing to take risks and was a very ''innovative'' composer. Remarkable stuff

[@mrtchaikovsky]

How exactly did you come to this conclusion after listening to the passage in question?

[@neilwalsh3977]

Talk about a cool piece!

[@wilsonsimonalflutedesouza3430]

Gute idee! Das gehfählt mir. Grande e bom Nicolet ! Muito boa gravação e partitura.

[@lucpraslan]

The opening bars of the second movement have a striking similarity to parts of the 3rd movement of Shostakovich's 8th symphony.

[@julianarculus2142]

Nielsen's 5th Symphony is so original and anticipates Shostakovich so vividly, it MUST have influenced him!

[@mrtchaikovsky]

Not at all.

[@ermetefulcanelli3499]

Un concerto veramente buffo. Nicolet stupendo.

[@neilwalsh3977]

At 11:03, very 'star wars' like great use of winds, brass and flute - very interesting orchestration

[@stefanocontiflutechannel6812]

Bellissimo!!

[@kathyzeng5078]

In around minute between 8:40 to 8:50, the note sound like east asian music.

[@kiaraeijo]

I really like this recording and I can see why Emmanuel Pahud was influenced by him :)

Flute always have funny notes in almost all parts.

[@AndreyRubtsovRU]

I dunno. All the commenters here like it. I find it too weird and frankly boring.

[@porkyminch5131]

I agree. His wind instrument concertos are crap. He can never devolbe a meldoy which is easy to listen to. It's always this like randomly generated mess.

[@porkyminch5131]

And dont get me wrong! I love Carl Nielsen. His symphonies are in my opinnion, easily competing with the greats.

[@dasteufelhund]

For some reason, I really don't like the weak ending of the third movement.

[@bartjebartmans]

ok....uuh.... so??

[@joshscores3360]

There is no 3rd movement

[@nickbamber268]

@@joshscores3360 Hence the weak ending

[@Kastchei]

Oo, this is really slow. It's like Andante instead of Allegro.

[@MVargabass]

Michael L. Cooney there is no allegro

[@jeremiahwillson9855]

@@MVargabass First movement is Allegro Moderato suggested at 100-112 and this recording is often in the 80's, maybe low 90's.
