Danish National Symphony Orchestra

Fabio Luisi conducts the Danish National Symphony Orchestra in Nielsen's Symphony No 4, 'Inextinguishable'. They are joined by Augustin Hadelich for Beethoven's Violin Concerto.

Fabio Luisi, distinguished Principal Conductor of the Danish National SO leads the orchestra in one of the great 20th-century symphonies. Nielsen said his 'Inextinguishable' Symphony 'will express what we understand by the spirit of life or manifestations of life, that is: everything that moves, that wants to live...' and, with the majestic sweep of its broad themes and the battling sets of timpani of its finale, an elemental life-force seems to be shot-through the music.

To begin, Augustin Hadelich is the much-garlanded soloist in Beethoven's epic Violin Concerto, one of the summits of the repertoire.

Recorded in January in the renowned acoustic of the DR Concert House, Copenhagen, and introduced by Fiona Talkington.
