Sibelius’ only concerto heats up the cold Scandinavian night. Danish composer Carl Nielsen’s dramatic symphony culminates with a powerful “battle between two sets of timpani.” Romantic Danish composer Gade was a friend of Mendelssohn and instructor of Nielsen and Grieg. Enjoy his Hamlet Overture, full of melodic beauty.
