Yes, that too - probably should have started a separate thread! I read that on debut the audience would not permit the Scherzo until the 2nd movement had been repeated.Quote:

A little Sunday Wagner on vinyl - this came from the outdoor market and is in nice shape - wonderful barking brass interjections and Siegfried's rhythmic hammer blows on the anvil are wonderful - toying with the idea of looking for a complete Ring on LP - may be a dear do, mind...

I didn't used to like Nielsen's music - then a few months ago I heard a radio broadcast of his Helios overture - and something went 'click' at the back of my small brain. :eek:
It sounds abfab to me now!!
It's funny how that happens sometimes - I remember that I was interested in Nielsen and looking for a set of the symphonies, but I somehow got distracted. Will check some out now you've reminded me.Quote:

Excellent bombastic stuff (in parts), which rattles ya woofaz, dark and moody in others (and very well recorded). Top notch! :eyebrows:

Great fun, isn't it?Quote:
