Svend Hvidtfelt Nielsen: Ophelia Dances

Svend Hvidtfelt Nielsen (organ), Bjarke Mogensen (accordion)

Aarhus Symphony Orchestra, Århus Sinfonietta, Ari Rasilainen, Henrik Vagn Christensen

Nielsen, S H: Ophelia Dances
Nielsen, S H: Symphony No. 3, 'Watching Life'
Nielsen, S H: Toccata

The idea of building great music from modest or fragmentary means has characterized the work of Nordic composers for generations. In Svend Hvidtfelt Nielsen’s (b. 1958) music, that idea finds a particularly exquisite and absolutely contemporary expression. In Toccata the music glances towards a filmic chase-down, whereas Nielsen in Ophelia Dances claims to ‘hear the dancing’ of that fragile character from Shakespeare’s Hamlet. The album concludes with Nielsen’s single-movement symphony, Symphony No. 3, which sets in motion a cumulative journey upwards from low to high: a symphonic Tower of Babel, reaching for the heavens.

This engaging disc offers beautifully-recorded performances of three substantial works from the contemporary Danish composer, performed with impeccable clarity by the Aarhus Symphony under the assured baton of Henrik Vagn Christensen.
