Carl Nielsen’s ebullient early symphonies 1-3, ones of short, tuneful melodisms, are greatly contrasted with the strife and modernism of his later symphonies. The 4th is a wonderful transition and shows great invention, such as the wonderful chamber features in the middle movements. The fifth and sixth please me less, they are not necessarily off-putting and I enjoy the lyricism in the 5th, but Nielsen expands his harmonic language towards wartime modernism.
Blomstedt’s vision of Nielsen is marked for its forward motion and bustling energy. The San Francisco SO is crystal cut in its execution, which serves this modern-sounding music well. The Humoresque 2nd mvt. of Sym. 6 is astounding for example, showing the fine instrumental abilities of San Francisco, and Decca’s sonics capture everything with pétillant clarity.
The treasure of Blomstedt’s Nielsen symphony cycle are the bonus works. In volume 2, the dainty Little Suite for Strings and the 20-minute cantata Hymnus Amoris. The 15-minute Suite for Strings is a slight work, showing the leaner strings of the Danish NRSO under Ulf Schirmer, ported over from [[ASIN:B000009M55 Decca]]. Hymnus Amoris, with the same orchestra, follows the human expanse of time, and is a wonderful work. Soprano Barbara Bonney is particularly delightful, as are the adult and children’s choruses.
There is a lot of competition with Nielsen’s later symphonies on record. Ormandy/Bernstein [[ASIN:B00000DSDX on Sony]] are classics, Kubelik in the 5th [[ASIN:B0018OAP6G on EMI]], Kondrashin [[ASIN:B00000E570 on Philips]] in the 6th as well, and fine sets from Rozhdestvensky [[ASIN:B0006AZPZY on Chandos]] and Sakari Oramo on Bis, among many others.
Still, Blomstedt’s are a solid set, full of energy and momentum, in excellent Decca sound. I am not as taken with Nielsen's later symphonies as others, I find their modern language walking away from what I enjoyed of his earlier symphonies, but these are fine performances nonetheless. Recommended.
