Carl Nielsen - Symphony No. 1, Op. 7 (1892)

[@billyh4068]

A very underrated composer in my humble opinion. This is a fine work; enjoyable listening. 🎼

[@neilwalsh3977]

Every piece he writes is 'cool'

[@neilwalsh3977]

He's definitely not boring!

[@johnnynoirman]

A work of immeasurable worth, beauty and balance.

Nielsen's symphonies are really tremendous ! My favourite is no 3 "espansiva". In any case thankyou very much for this upload.

[@cwaller1151]

Just want to say, from 11:40 to the end of the 2nd movement is astounding. Love the piece to bits, so thanks for uploading the score-video!

[@helgegrelck2394]

Yes, great work! As a Dane I can tell you, that Carl Nielsen has been a musical inspiration on all fronts in Denmark for over 100 years. He made music for many occasions (Like Mozart). He made songs for children and for our “Højskole”-songbook too. The tune “Tågen Letter” and songs like “Jeg Ved En Lærkerede”, “Solen Er Så Rød Mor” and “Som En Rejselysten Flåde” are lovely compositions for their purpose.

What's with the "o" with the cross through it in Danish? (ø).

[@helgegrelck2394]

@@maxgregorycompositions6216 The letter ‘ø’ makes the sound you find in the English words ‘word’, ‘bird’, ’third’, ‘heard’ and also sometimes like when these words are pronounced with a New York accent (Walter Matthau)

[@helgegrelck2394]

@@maxgregorycompositions6216 …The letter ‘å’ is sometimes pronouced like the ‘o’ in ‘other’ and not like in ‘over’. French has much of the same sounds and even other vovel sounds 😄

[@helgegrelck2394]

@@maxgregorycompositions6216 The word ‘first’ is pronounced the same way and it means the same in Danish. But it is spelled ‘først’ with an ‘ø’.

I. Allegro orgoglioso (0:00) II. Andante (9:00) III. Allegro comodo (15:54) IV. Allegro con fuoco (24:11)

I love this piece! I love Nielsen's music. I started to get into his symphonies when I heard a performance of the fourth symphony on the radio back in the 1970's. Back then the only symphony cycle available in the Schwann catalog was the Ole Schmidt cycle on Unicorn - he was such an obscure name in America. Back then you really had to seek his music out. Nowadays? Just put whatever you're looking for in the search field and POOF, there it is. It still sort of amazes me how different things are now when I look back on how things used to be.

[@theunknownrepertoire2425]

What a majestic symphony, thanks for sharing

The third movement is so unique and charming

[@SPscorevideos]

Be aware that the Blomstedt's recordings of Nielsen will be probably taken down. They took down my Nielsen's 6th, I had to use another recording.

[@bartjebartmans]

Thanks for the heads up. They allowed Blomestedt Hindemith Metamorphosis but not his Viola Mourning Music, they are on the same CD.

[@SPscorevideos]

@@bartjebartmans Yeah, well, KZbin algorithm is pretty weird, they blocked some of my videos using recordins that are already online...

[@bartjebartmans]

@@SPscorevideos I tried uploading several Elgar No. 2. All already on KZbin but they all got blocked. One of them was the audio of a live recording, BBC proms on KZbin. Indeed weird.

Even better are symphonies 2 and 3 imo...why they are not played more I do not know!

Music critics are too often failed and frustrated musicians 🤣

[@fulviopolce9785]

Considerare Nielsen migliore di Borresen,Bendix,S.Langaard ,etc.,è stato il classico 'favore' commerciale del XX secolo a danno degli altri, praticamente e Colpevolmente ignorati. Comunque ,a prescindere, è un bel post.Grazie Bartje. .

[@Plantocrate]

Spiegati meglio. Perché Nielsen dovrebbe essere compositore minore rispetto ai da te citati? In che consisterebbe questo "favore" commerciale? Fosse così facile imporre la buona musica, sai quanti sarebbero oggi validamente noti tra i compositori di un tempo? C'è un mix di fattori che sfuggono alla logica e al comune buon senso. Ed è una perdita per tutti io credo.

[@fulviopolce9785]

@@Plantocrate Leggi bene..non ho detto che Nielsen è stato "minore" .Ho detto che ""commercialmente" è stato avvantaggiato. Non so quanti anni tu abbia ma nei "favolosi" anni '80 le grandi case discografiche,DG,Decca,EMI,erano tutte "cartellate" sui nomi più "importanti" e mi ricordo benissimo che giusto la DG aveva emesso la serie completa delle sinfonie di Nielsen. A quei tempi gli altri danesi erano ancora da riscoprire....

[@Plantocrate]

@@fulviopolce9785 Non mi era parso del tutto chiaro. Ma ora intendo meglio. No, a quei tempi ero un ragazzino anche se già ascoltavo musica classica. Credo e temo che sia cosa di sempre favorire degli autori piuttosto che altri pur notevoli. Si pubblica uno Schubert e ok. Benissimo. E perché no un Burgmuller? Per citarne uno solo.
