Favourite Nielsen Symphonies

[Alison]

The Oramo disc of 1 and 3 would probably be the one I’d save in a house fire.
Hurwitz generally prefers older recordings, probably the ones he learnt the music from.

[Sir Velo]

If one must cite a critic's opinion, far better to discuss the favourite Nielsen recordings of Robert Layton or David Fanning.

[Barbirollians]

Extraordinary how may people here continue to cite Hurwitz as some kind of musical higher authority. To me, he is the Nigel Farage of music critics. A nonentity for whom far too much airtime is given.

Well said - I would add Andrew Mellor to your recommended critics in this repertoire.
