Amazon.com Langgaard (1893-1952) is slowly emerging as one of the major symphonists of this century; he is certainly one of the major composers of Denmark, right in line behind Nielsen. His Symphony 4 (1916), Fall of the Leaf, is a beautiful study of the forces of nature. Symphony 5 (1917-18), Nature of the Steppe, is more characteristically Nordic than anything particularly Mongol or Russian. The Symphony 6 (1949), Heavens Asunder, is about a cosmic battle between the forces of good and evil. These are major works, tonal and Romantic at their core. Excellent performances, excellent sound. --Paul Cook Similar CDs

CD ReviewsSibelius distilled David Thierry | Chicago, IL United States | 03/09/2008 (4 out of 5 stars) "These remarkable and lovely symphonies do not follow the conventional development one might find in Nielsen or Sibelius, Dvorak or Brahms. They are more a stream of consiouness that evolves and flows, more subtle, less obviously dramatic, less colorfully orchestrated particularly less use of the woodwinds, a more subdued use of brass, more a feeling of being propelled forward toward an inevitable conclusion. More like Bruckner in tone but without Bruckner's somewhat contrived effort to make an epic statement while maintaining it's own seriousness and gravity. These works are like musical essays. Very attractive and appealing."
