Prom 46 - Danish National Symphony Orchestra
Work:: Prom 46 (S5977)
Part of the BBC Proms.
Production:: Danish National Symphony Orchestra (T1136550364)
Continuing our celebration of Nielsen's 150th anniversary, his Second Symphony is an exercise in contrasting moods and textures - the ?Temperaments' of the subtitle are the Humours of Greco-Roman medicine: Choleric, Phlegmatic, Melancholic and Sanguine. Less familiar are Nielsen's choral works - the swelling loveliness of Hymnus amoris, inspired by a Titian painting, and the Three Motets that pay homage to Renaissance polyphony. Completing the programme is Brahms's warmly Romantic Violin Concerto, with Danish-Israeli Nikolaj Znaider. Finish time approx. 22:30
