New Nielsen recording featuring the New York Philharmonic
After having played a significant role in the international Nielsen breakthrough with its Leoonard Bernstein recordings of major Nielsen works back in the 1960's, the New York Philharmonic has not recorded his music lately.
Now the Danish record label Dacapo has succeeded in signing a contract with chief conductor Alan Gilbert and the New York orchestra for a recording of Nielsen's three concertos. Only one of the soloists is Danish, the flute player Ulla Miilmann, at present solo player in the Danish Radio National Symphony Orchestra.
The new Nielsen cd was to be published in connection with the orchestra's Scandinavian tour in the autumn of 2010, but has now been rescheduled for 2011.
