--The New Yorker

"A thrilling demonstration of a sensibility balanced between Romantic and Modernist...An occasion to celebrate for Nielsen lovers everywhere."

--New York Classical Review

--Gramophone

"An immensely promising start to what could well prove a landmark cycle"
--BBC Music Magazine

Among the Very Best Nielsen Cycles

Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2015

Verified Purchase

Alan Gilbert and the New York Philharmonic have recorded a new cycle of the Nielsen symphonies and concertos. Gilbert has an especially strong sense of the way Nielsen combines a kind of Danish romantic lyricism and modernist dissonance. His performances of Nielsen are at the top of the pile, along with those by Leonard Bernstein and Herbert Blomstedt. The Blomstedt and Gilbert cycles are very well-recorded. The Bernstein is obviously older, and to may knowledge it's currently out of print, though there may be some copies of an earlier Sony reissue available through Amazon. At any rate, the Gilbert set is strongly recommended.

Hear Everything

Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2016

A truly great set. Gilbert's orchestral textures let you hear everything, and I find the claim that his performances lack voltage (as one critic put it) inaccurate. I've long been a fan of the second Bloomstedt cycle, but this one is refreshing to listen to and, in my opinion, miles ahead of Schoenwandt. The concertos are good too.

One Of The Best Nielsen Cycles

Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2017

Alan Gilbert isn’t a household name but he’s made quite a splash since he became principal conductor of the New York Philharmonic. At first, I wasn’t really sure what to make of his Nielsen. I found it quite disappointing compared to say Bernstein or Oramo, but what finally made me realize how good all of these performances were was when I finally tapped into what Gilbert was trying to achieve with this music. Where Gilbert takes this music is down a two road route: on one side of the road, everything is extremely tight and solid and the other side of the road there is a fine attention to detail and the innate lyricism that is found in all of these symphonies. I’d say he’s not as dramatic as someone like Bernstein, but he does highlight a lot of the musical tension and allows the listener to hear all of the intricate, interwoven parts from each of the instrument sections with crystal clear clarity. In this sense, it almost reminded me of Pierre Boulez’s way with an orchestra. The New York Philharmonic play with vigor, sensitivity, and astonishing virtuosity. If I had to pick out standout performances of the symphonies, it would be the 1st, 2nd, 5th, and 6th really shine the brightest, but, as I said, the entire cycle is fantastic and, along with Oramo, is really the best Nielsen I’ve heard recently.

As a bonus to the symphony cycle, we get all three concertos. These are are tremendous performances and the soloists are Nikolaj Znaider (violin), Robert Langevin (flute), and Anthony McGill (clarinet).

A highly recommendable cycle that will bring the listener much enjoyment I imagine.

Alan Gilbert & the NY Phil at their best!

Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2015

The Absolute Sound rated the Fifth and Sixth Symphonies in this set a perfect 5 / 5 for music in sound - something rarely (if ever) seen before I bought the SACD based on that review and was not disappointed. Being hooked, I bought all the individual releases, collected in this box. These recordings may well be the capstone to Alan Gilbert's tenure with the New York Philharmonic, standing tall against Leonard Bernstein's breakthrough Nielsen recordings from a half century earlier. This is top class, a "must have" set....

Actually, not a bad set overall...concertos better than the symphonies

Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2015

After hearing, and not much liking, Gilbert's performance of "The Four Temperaments," I was pleasant surprised when listening to this complete set. Yes, "The Four Temperaments" (and "The Inextinguishable") are rather underdone, but they're simply bursting with energy when compared to Sakari Oramo's new recordings on the Bis label. I still prefer Douglas Bostock to Gilbert overall in the complete symphonies, but when hearing all six Gilbert does have his moments. Overall, however, the performances I turn to the most often are Herbert Blomstedt's magnificent (second) Nielsen cycle on Decca with the San Francisco Symphony.

Where Gilbert really does shine is in his conducting of the concertos. Here, it seems that he really comes to life, and by and large he has soloists who are superior to those that Bostock used. Thus, if you want a complete set of all the symphonies and concertos by one conductor and don't really case if the symphony performances aren't the best, this is an OK set...certainly better as a whole than I would have expected.

Fantastisches Klangbild

Reviewed in Germany on August 21, 2018

Verified Purchase

Diese Aufnahmen fesseln allein durch das fantastisch klare Klangbild. Ich habe früher schon einmal eine Gesamtausgabe von Nielsens Symphonien gehabt, konnte der Musik aber nicht viel abgewinnen: es klang hart und spröde (leider weiß ich nicht mehr, welche Ausgabe das war...). Nun diese Aufnahmen: weiche, satte Streicher, transparenter Bläserklang... Linien werden herausgearbeitet, so dass sie einen durch die Symphonien führen... Es ersteht: eine fantastisch gute Musik...
