This album showcases works by Carl Nielsen, featuring the Flute Concerto and Symphony No. 1, performed by the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Myung-Whun Chung, with Patrick Gallois as the flute soloist. Nielsen’s Flute Concerto, composed in 1926, is characterized by its blend of pastoral lyricism and energetic contrasts, reflecting the instrument's delicate yet expressive nature. Symphony No. 1, completed between 1890 and 1893, displays Nielsen’s youthful vigor and innovative approach, with its distinctive tonal progression from G minor to C major, marking the beginning of his exploration into progressive tonality.

These performances highlight the vitality and emotional depth of Nielsen’s compositions, capturing his unique voice in the landscape of Scandinavian music.
