Post by: Wheesht on Saturday 13 June 2015, 10:59
Swiss Radio SRF 2 Kultur have scheduled a concert tomorrow, 14 June, 10.03 am CET, to mark Carl Nielsen's 150th anniversary - interestingly enough, two of the three works in that broadcast are by Gade, and just one by Nielsen:

Niels Wilhelm Gade: Zion. Kantate
Per Hoyer, Bariton
Aaalborg Symphony Orchestra
Canzone Chor; Frans Rasmussen, Leitung

Niels Wilhelm Gade: Benedictus und Amen
Bine Katrine Bryndorf, Orgel
Radiochor Kopenhagen; Jesper Grove Jorgensen, Leitung

May I ask what the Nielsen work is?

Sorry, I might as well have mentioned the Nielsen:

Drei Motetten für gemischten Chor a cappella op. 55
Kammerchor des Dänischen Rundfunks
Stefan Parkman, Leitung

Ah, thanks. (I have a recording of those I like quite a lot, in vol.6 of the Danacord Historic Nielsen Series, a set devoted mostly otherwise to recordings of his songs- a wonderful section of his output- and very, very early broadcasts of symphonies 2 and 5.)
