"Studio and live broadcast recordings, never previously issued and newly remastered from the original tapes, of Romantic and 20thcentury Danish music. Highlights include an atmospheric tone-poem by Gade, ballet and concert scores based on fairy-tales of Hans Christian Andersen, an overture to celebrate the end of the nazi occupation of Denmark and a colourful set of orchestral variations based on Danish radio´s theme tune. The performances bear witness to the high technical standard of the DRSO´s playing, nearly 70 years ago, as well as to the tireless advocacy of Launy Grøndahl for the music of his own country."
