Music, Broadcasting, and the Theatre

A sequence of recordings, made in Denmark last summer by Laurence Gilliam, illustrating some aspects of the artistic life of the country today

The recordings include the 'Expansiva' symphony of Carl Nielsen, played by the Orchestra of the Danish State Radio in their new Concert Hall in Copenhagen; extracts from the Royal Theatre production of Mozart's 'Don Giovanni', with the Royal Theatre Orchestra, conducted by Johan Hye Knudsen, and a commentary by Christen Jul; and several examples of early organ music played on the seventeenth-century organ in the Chapel at Frederiksborg Castle
