1 SCANDINAVIAN SYMPHONIES From the 19th Century To the Present A Discography of CDs & LPs Prepared by Michael Herman CARL NIELSEN ( ), DENMARK Born in in Sortelung (Nørre Lyndelse), near Odense. He learned the violin and piano as a child and began composing as well. After learning how to play brass instruments, he got a job as a as a bugler and trombonist in an Odense band. His formal musical education was at the Copenhagen Music Conservatory where he studied the violin with Valdemar Tofte, music theory with Orla Rosenhoff and music history with Niels Gade. He was a violinist with the orchestra of the Royal Theater in Copenhagen and earned some extra income as a teacher before making his breakthrough as a composer with his Suite for Strings. After receiving a state pension, he often appeared as a conductor but he was able to devote his musical career mostly to composition. He is uncontestedly seen as Denmark's greatest composer, whose cycle of Symphonies reached world prominence and whose other major works, the Concertos for Violin, Clarinet and Flute, his 2 operas and various chamber works are of the highest quality.
