Discography of Nielsen symphony cycles

Nielsen (left) composed six symphonies from 1892–1925. In 1974, the conductor Herbert Blomstedt (right) and the Danish Radio Symphony Orchestra completed one of the first recorded Nielsen cycles.

The Danish composer Carl Nielsen (1865–1931) was one of the most important symphonists of the early twentieth century: his six symphonies, written between 1892 and 1925, are the core of his oeuvre. Many of classical music's conductor–orchestra partnerships have recorded the complete set, colloquially known as the "Nielsen cycle". Specifically, the standard cycle includes:

As of as of November 2024, the Nielsen cycle been recorded 22 times. The most recently completed cycle, finished in 2022, is by Fabio Luisi and the Danish National Symphony Orchestra; an additional projected twenty-third cycle is in progress, according to press releases. Two conductors have tackled the project more than once: Herbert Blomstedt (1974, 1989) and Michael Schønwandt (2000, 2000) recorded the Nielsen cycle two times. Among ensembles, the Danish National Symphony Orchestra has recorded the cycle a record four times.

Precursors

[edit]
The Danish conductor Thomas Jensen pioneered an unofficial Nielsen cycle via piecemeal recordings from 1947–1959

Several Danish conductors associated with Danish Radio performed Nielsen's symphonies. Most notably, Thomas Jensen recorded the complete cycle with the Danish Radio Symphony Orchestra from 1947 to 1959: Symphonies Nos. 1 and 5 for Decca, No. 6 for Tono (Mercury in the U.S., World Record Club in the U.K.), and No. 2 for His Master's Voice (HMV), as well as live broadcast recordings of Nos. 3 and 4. These have since been collected into an informal Nielsen cycle and re-released by Danacord.

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ a b c d Refers to the timespan over which the conductor-orchestra pairing recorded the work(s); this may not be the same as the year(s) in which the recordings were first released to the general public.
  2. ^ a b c d All runtimes are official, as printed on CD or LP liner notes. For some recordings, the notes only provide runtimes for a symphony's constituent movements; in these cases, the movement runtimes were added to obtain a total duration.
  3. ^ The liner notes to this release do not contain information on the venue(s) at which the symphonies were recorded.
  4. ^ a b This orchestra records under its in-house label.
  5. ^ Since the 19yys, Sony Classical has packaged the Bernstein–New York Philharmonic recordings of Symphonies Nos. 2–5 with recordings of Nos. 1 and 6 by the Hungarian-American conductor Eugene Ormandy, who in yyyy and yyyy recorded with Philadelphia Orchestra.
  6. ^ Since 1993, BIS has packaged the Chung–Gothenburg SO recordings of Symphonies Nos. 1–3 and 5 with recordings of Nos. 4 (September 1990) and 6 (March 1992) by the same orchestra, albeit with the Estonian-American conductor Neemi Järvi. From 1990–92, Järvi recorded a complete cycle for Deutsche Grammophon, again with the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra.
  7. ^ On 3 January 2022, Dausgaard resigned as musical director of the Seattle Symphony.[27] As such, the planned third volume of his Nielsen cycle—which would have included Symphonies Nos. 5–6—likely is no longer in progress.
