Danish Radio Symphony Orchestra - Thomas Jensen Legacy 5 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

All-new remasterings of live and previously unissued recordings a Mendelssohn concert from 1962 demonstrates Thomas Jensen's undimmed power to galvanize an orchestra towards the end of his life. From his very last concert, given a fortnight before his death in 1963, works by Handel and Mozart find him (and pianist Annie Fischer) on fluent, sparkling form. Novelettes by 'the Danish Mendelssohn' Niels W. Gade make a neat coupling, and the set closes with the Dvorák overture which launched the DRSO on the international scene. Another landmark album in the wider appreciation of a conductor whose legacy has been too narrowly restricted to the music of his homeland. Album Tracks 1. Midsummer Night's Dream, Op. 21~Overture 2.
