Conductor Sakari Oramo and the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra at the rehearsal of Nielsen´s Symphony No 1. Free online concerts.

Only 1 left in stock (more on the way). Compared to Nielsen symphonies 2, 3, and 5, I don't consider the first to be a mature work, it's just pleasant filler. I purchased this album of Nielsen 3 because I've been pleased with earlier Oramo recordings- the Prokofiev 5 & 6- in particular. I liked the Nielson Symphony 2 performance with Gilbert and New York, but I would compare their third symphony recording to a luke-warm flat beverage

The work has since been hailed as one of the greatest symphonies of the twentieth century, but at its first performances during the early 1920’s audiences were less enthusiastic, finding it puzzling and difficult to understand. Although unwilling to provide an explanation of the symphony, Nielsen had however inscribed a kind of motto, ‘Dark, resting forces – Awakened forces’, at the end of his draft score and later wrote that it was ‘something very primitive I wanted to express: the division of dark and light, the battle between evil and good.

These performances by Oramo and the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra are exceptional for their stunning power and spacious feeling, though the crisp details and focused sound quality will be the biggest draw for audiophiles. This package on BIS follows Oramo's 2014 release of the Symphony No. 4, "The Inextinguishable," and the Symphony No. 5, Nielsen's most popular symphonies, and the extraordinary quality of these recordings gives high hopes for the conclusion of the series.

Sakari Oramo and his Stockholm orchestra round off their Nielsen cycle with a colorful take on the second, Nielsen's symphonic treatise on the human temperament, and the highly ambiguous Sinfonia semplice.

The Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra (Swedish: Kungliga Filharmonikerna or Kungliga Filharmoniska Orkestern, literal translations, "Royal Philharmonic" or "Royal Philharmonic Orchestra") is a Swedish orchestra based in Stockholm. The orchestra was founded in 1902 as the Stockholm Concert Society (Stockholms Konsertföreningens orkester). It became a permanent ensemble in 1914. Since 1926, it has been based at Stockholm Concert Hall (Konserthuset).

Sakari Oramo has his Royal Stockholm Philharmonic wind players relax into its almost Baroque-like ornateness, and when the tune ‘turns’ in the violins, it does so with effortless charm.
