        Hiya Bob,

        This concerto meanders a touch to much for me, I prefer Bliss's double piano concerto.

          Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.


          Bernstein conducting Nielsen's 3rd Symphony in Copenhagen, on the occasion of his being awarded the Sonning Prize. The next day they recorded it for CBS but this live performance seems to have much more fire.

          (The first half of the concert consisted of Johann Hye-Knudsen conducting the Helios Overture and the Violin Concerto, soloist Tibor Varga. I wish I could find that).

          If there is another thread for youtube discoveries this should perhaps be there rather than here, but to me Nielsen has sounded like "new music" ever since I discovered him 50 years ago.

            Was the Sonning Prize the occasion of Bernstein singing Maria from WSS but substituting 'a boy named Carl Nielsen' in the verse? Something told to us by a couple of chaps from the Danish state broadcaster.

            I haven't had a chance to play the whole thing through yet but the opening is extraordinary and many thanks for posting it.

                  I've known this work for many years and have long considered it to be one of its composer's finest; I should long ago have thanked you for posting this performance of it, so I do so now!

                    I think you already did on the neglected Brits thread ahinton.
                    It is an amazing piece,the greatest British Piano Trio of all maybe ?

                        I did wonder if I might have done something of the kind somewhere. Quite possibly it is indeed as you suggest...

                          Ruth Gipps

                          Symphony No 4 (1972,first performed 28/5/73 conducted by the composer)

                          BBCSSO / Sir John Pritcard.broadcast 3/5/83
                          Appeared on you tube only 2 days ago

                          What a marvellous piece this is.
                          Dedicated to Sir Arthur Bliss,who said
                          You have given me a splendid work, so varied and inventive......I am sure that no critic, who did not have the good fortune that I had, to follow its progress in the full score, could rightly judge your achievement. It is a big work, and full of fascinating detail...You were aware, I am sure, of the impact that this work made, as you conducted it.........splendid command of orchestral possibilities.......I wish I had thought of this
