  • Anyone else discover this through Mass Effect 2?

  • One of the masterworks of the 20th century and the most under rated composer of his time-from a symphony musician of 30 years.

  • It's a pity the side-drum player was a bit timid in his cadenza. This sounds so effective when the side-drum plays in opposition to the orchestra, rather than with it. Apart from that, it was a great performance. One of the summits of twentieth-century symphonic writing.

  • @anticliche321 I thought I was the only one. Mass Effect FTW!

  • @emperor0013 Yes. The Lawson sisters bought me here. Miranda and Oriana have good taste in music. :)

  • @geofa Agreed; but I'm not sure that he's THAT underrated. He's played rather often (though I'd like even more) from what I can tell. EVEN more underrated is Rued Langgaard, who lived bassically in the same time and same place - just as great a composer. Check him out if you dont know him.

  • @jhb134 Thanks so much for all this info. I wonder if anyone anywhere will re-run, or reissue any if these recordings or film.

  • @usnhorn Have you heard the one by Bernstein and the NYPO?

  • @GourouxPete - Also, the 1971 Horenstein performance is available on BBC Legends. The BBC made a film ... Espansiva ... about Nielsen, around 1971 or '72. They used a video of Horenstein/BBC, throughout a MOST-thorough documentary about Nielsen.

  • @GourouxPete - That performance, on Unicorn, is one of the most sought-after of all of Horenstein's output.

  • @GourouxPete - That 1969 recording is one of the most sought-after, of all of Horenstein's recordings. It was reissued on the Arlecchino label, but I don't see it listed, anywhere. BBC Legends has reissued Horenstein's 1971 recording, and it IS available. The BBC also put together a program about Nielsen ... "Expansiva" ... an hour-long film, from around 1972, and I have it. They used a concert film of Horenstein in the Nielsen 5th, throughout.
