Carl Nielsen - Choral Works

Carl Nielsen (9 June 1865 - 3 October 1931)

Choral Works

Danish National Radio Symphony Orchestra, Choir and Chamber Choir

Leif Segerstam and Stefan Parkman, conductors

I promise this is not a choral music blog! To prove otherwise I will be posting some instrumental music later today. However, Nielsen's choral music is too gorgeous not to post immediately. Of particular interest should be the Hymnus Amoris, which to me is one of the most beautiful and lyrical large choral pieces of its time. Lovely recording and a great selection for those unfamiliar with Nielsen's vocal writing.
