Jay Friedman of the Chicago Symphony said that the Gould recording of the Nielsen 2 was one of the finest recordings that he made.

You doing the march immediately won me over. Ordered it right away.

It really is such a shame that Chung didn't complete the cycle. It's the greatest partial cycle!

The complete Nielsen cycle by Sakari Oramo is the ultimate in terms of interpretation and incredible sonics imo but Chung is great as well.

One of the Seattle TV stations, back to the early 1970S, used the Sanguine movement as the theme for their local newscast.

In those days (the 7ties) I found a Nielsen 2nd with Garaguly and a Danish orchestra (Tivoli)?) on Turnabout, which was my introduction to Nielsen and which will remain my reference recording, a really ferocious performance. Indeed, it is a glorious work, the other ones were difficult to find.

I had the Garaguly recording, but my copy was on Nonesuch.

Dave, the first CD was manufactured in August of 1982. In 1979, Sony and Philips got together to begin the CD development process.

It's a great combination. I'm a bit partial to Morton Gould and the Chicago Symphony as well, as tuba maestro Arnold Jacobs was in his prime in those days. Nielsen 2 has a big and sometimes independent tuba part. It's in the Morton Gould/C.S.O./RCA box, but it's also been out there coupled with Martinon's C.S.O. Nielsen 4 on various RCA reissues.

I used to go to Recordmasters and the Record and Tape Collector all the time when I was studying at Peabody.

Roger that. I have to check the release dates, but I _think_ the first "warning" I ever saw on a CD was for Erich Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops playing the 1812 overture ... supposedly real cannons (howitzers, I assume, from some local NG armory). Or maybe that Kunzel warning went back to the LP and was repeated on the CD, which was released after BIS? Now you've made me break my morning routine to go rummaging in the storage room. In any event, I also remember getting this when it came out, and I'm pretty sure it was the release that introduced me to Chung. Still fantastic all these decades later. Chung for the Second; Bernstein for the "espansiva."

I will compare this rendition to Schmidt and Oramo and choose the one I will keep for my collection. Thank you.

Oh, I still have the "Original Dynamics" LP. Listen quite frequently to it still. In the Aladin Suite the low drum indeed makes a demand on the speakers....
