Tone picture, Op.53 Bamberger Symphoniker / Frank Cramer Playing Time: 67:20 Ludolf Nielsen’s (1876-1939) third and last symphony is one of the greatest Danish works in the Late Romantic style, where Ludolf Nielsen concentrates the essence of his Romantic view of life on the basis of the motto of the work: "I see the world with flowers, / Know joy requires a stormy night." The tone picture Hjortholm is ten years younger, and is an example of his tonal idiom from the inter-war years. Both works are first recordings, and show Ludolf Nielsen as a master of orchestral writing. 8.224158-59 – SRP: $15.99 King Frederik IX conducts the Danish National Radio Symphony Orchestra Richard Wagner ; Ouverture til Tannhäuser – Ouverture di Rienzi – Ludwig van Beethoven: Symphony no.7 in A major, Op.92 – Symphony No.3 in E flat major, Op.55 Edvard Grieg: Valse, Op.34, 2 (Last Spring) / Niels W Gade – Efterklange af Ossian, Op.1 (Echoes of Ossian) – Hakon Børreson: Forspil til Don Kongelied Graest (Prelude to The Royal Guest) 7 30099 98582 6 "Denmark's King Frederik IX (1899-1971) was an accomplished amateur musician and self-taught conductor who frequently led the Royal Danish Orchestra or the Danish National Radio Symphony in private rehearsals and concerts. Some of the King's performances were recorded, and the ones selected for this two-disc set appear for the first time. The results...need no apology. The Danish musicians... clearly go the extra mile for their monarch, playing their hearts out...very good and well-balanced mono engineering." –ClassicsToday.com N E W R E L E A S E S • J U N E 2 0 0 0 JAZZ DCCD 9446 – SRP: $15.99 Nice Work • The Danish Radio Jazz Orchestra & Jim McNeely Pete’s Feet - …and Rhythm – Moksha – Rough Night – Syretha’s Gift – Reflection – Nice Work if You Can Get it Playing Time: 69:17 Danish Radio Jazz Orchestra chief conductor, pianist and composer Jim McNeely combines tradition and intrepidity. He draws from inspiration of former masters but, mainly, his writing is personal and easily recognizable – including drama, rhythmical tension and poetry. McNeely encompasses the masculine swing of Thad Jones and the ’European’ and expressionistic touch that Bob Brookmeyer added to jazz writing. Thus he ensures that the big jazz orchestras will survive in a time when the expression of improvised music is ever changing and searching. DCCD 9454 – SRP: $15.99 Jordsange • Earth Songs Jordsang (Earth Song) – Det virkelige ord (The True Word) – Min verden (My World) – Den som blaeser us…(He who blows out…) Ja Ja Ja (Yes Yes Yes) – Gåderne (The Mystery) – Uromkvaed (Primal Chorus) – Gå! (Go!) – Se efter (Look) – Evigheden (Eternity) Marilyn Mazur / Vocal Group Ars Nova / Copenhagen Art Ensemble • Playing Time: 61:13 Marilyn Mazur likes when music is telepathic, surprising, emotional, warm and alive, to reach from the softest lyrical touch and mysterious grooves to powerful wild energy. This new recording finds Mazur at her multi-talented best, combining her skills of composing, conducting and percussion to produce, eclectic yet accessible music artfully performed by these skilled musicians. 11038-2 – SRP: $15.99 From the Mists of Time Jon Mark: From the Mists of Time – The Hunger – From the Mists of Time Michael Atkinson: Mother of the Celts – Morning of the World David Downes: Shadow of a Cloud Sanctuary – Beloved White Cloud Celia Briar: The Clergys Lamentation – The Dove Radha Sahar: The Deliverance Nova Schola Gregoriana Gustate et Videte Gustate et Videte Camerata Cassovia: Ave Verum Corpus Novopassky Monastery Choir: Hail Mary Hungarian Radio Chorus: Jesu Bleibet Meine Freude Playing Time: 53:23 7 47313 00382 2 A special selection of mystical and inspirational music that resonates with timeless reverence, reaching across the centuries from the deep sonorous intonations of Gregorian chant to the highly compelling and emotive work of contemporary musicians. 10 TOLL FREE FAX: 888-771-9520 • TELEPHONE: 615-771-9393 11038-2 7 30099 97982 5 7 30099 94462 5 7 30099 94542 4

Works of sweeping and magnificent intensity, they represent the pinnacle of 19th century virtuosity.
