About
The idea of writing a symphony based on the Four Temperaments (Symphony No.2) – The Choleric, The Sanguine, The Melancholic and The Phlegmatic - came to Nielsen when he saw a primitive peasant painting in a village inn.
The title of the Third Symphony, 'Sinfonia espansiva', an afterthought, has been explained as an expansion of the scope of the mind and of the life that comes with it.
The original Dacapo release of this recording won several awards, including a Gramophone Critics Choice, a Fanfare Critics Choice and a Danish Grammy.
“This is the welcome completion of what now ranks, in my judgment, as the best set of the Nielsen symphonies yet accomplished in the recording medium.” - Fanfare on the original Dacapo releases
