How did you like that one Darren? The Schumann in particular would interest me.

Hakon Börresen was the OTHER great early 20th Century Danish composer after Nielsen. He was more of a late Romantic than Nielsen, but none the worse for that. His music is beautifully crafted and immediately appealing. In fact if you love Sibelius and Stenhammar there´s no reason why you shouldn´t enjoy these big, nordic, luscious symphonies.
I much prefer this German recording to the Danish version in Da Capo, it´s better played and recorded.
As I love the music of Sibelius I look at that one with interest Pepe....
You will be surprised how enjoyable it is Fergus, just like with the great Wilhelm Stenhammar, I´m puzzled why Börresen isn´t more popular and well known.

Now that does definitely interest me and it shouldn't: I'm not in the market for CDs but I can make the odd exception, I suppose.

Go for it Sean! Life is too short to miss these wonderful symphonies. I promise they are immediately likable, you won´t be disappointed.

It is a nice recording Fergus. It is well played and well recorded. I really like the third movement of Schumann's Cello Concerto. Very special movement. The Brahms double concerto is splendid in my opinion. It deserves more love, that is for sure.

Wow! Here is a composer that I have never heard of. It looks very interesting. I will definitively give him a try.
