No Danish composer had such great international success around the turn of the 20th century as August Enna, who was famous for his operas in an international style inspired by Verdi, Wagner and French music.
His works were performed as far away as the USA and Australia , but Enna struggled to establish his standing at home in Denmark, partly because of his foreign musical style and his unruly personality.
Time was short for Danish romantic music: this did not just affect Enna Enna, but many other Danish composers who were almost completely neglected for the rest of the 20th century.
His charming orchestral works failed to receive the attention they deserved, though they share the richness of melody and colour of his operas.
One of his most successful orchestral works is the Violin Concerto, in which his background as a violinist and his deep connection to opera meet the tradition of Nordic national romanticism with pastiches of folk music.
Enna wrote his Second Symphony at the age of 48. The symphony is conservative for its time, as well as being extremely generous in its constant melodic flow, with an expanded orchestration.
