About

“It is strange that when I write these simple melodies, it is as if I am not the composer – it is people from my childhood or the Danish people who want something through me.” Thus said Carl Nielsen (1865-1931), who was devoted to renewing the Danish song tradition and whose melodies are still at the heart of Danish community song today. On this recording, Ars Nova Copenhagen presents a selection of Nielsen’s most popular songs under conductor Michael Bojesen.

Awards and reviews

June 2015

These simple tunes can unlock many a greater truth in Nielsen's concert works. In that sense they wholly deserve the artistry of Ars Nova Copenhagen...open-throated singing that befits the direct intent of the tunes and their typically angular harmonies...the beautiful tapering of phrase-endings nicely serves the harmonic spice with which Nielsen often twists his stanzas to a close.
