Symphony No.1 in B minor, op.3
Andante Lento - Allegro energico Andante mesto Allegro pastorale Finale: Allegro con brio From the Mountains, op.8 Symphonic Suite for Orchestra The Castle Ruin The Shepherd The Mountain Chapel Folk Life in the Valley Danish Philharmonic Orchestra FRANK CRAMER |
| Ludolf Nielsen's (1876 - 1939) had a special talent for orchestral writing, and this record rediscovers two surprising works: the First Symphony, which was his first major work, and From the Mountains, a colourful and inventive symphonic suite. Ludolf Nielsen’s works blended the many new idioms of music from abroad with Nordic traditions. The rediscovery of his music sheds new light on the Danish musical culture of the turn of the last century. |

| reviews | |
| 'Frank Cramer and the solid orchestra show a fine sense for precisely graded sound registers, favoured by Nielsen. Those interpretations are sensitive and have a wide range of dynamics.' |
|
| Michael Stenger, Fono Forum, March 1999 | |
| 'Together with the Danish Philharmonic Orchestra, Frank Cramer managed sonorous and colourful interpretations, which turn into an emphatic plea for this long forgotten composer.' |
