About
After Carl Nielsen, Louis Glass surely has to be regarded as Denmark’s greatest composer of the first half of the twentieth century. His six symphonies clearly occupy the center of his oeuvre. We are now beginning a new edition of this highly interesting work complex, together with shorter symphonic compositions, some of them in world-premiere recordings.

January 2015
the orchestration is expertly tailored; and as an example of warm-hearted, serenade-like symphonism at the turn of the 20th century, Glass's Forest Symphony makes for a pleasant excursion, especially in a performance as refined and imaginative as this one.

If like me, you have no knowledge of what this music is like, think Schumann with lighter textures, Mendelssohn without quite the level of genius...Glass has his own voice, and wow, can he write a tune. Both works are strewn with memorable melodies.
