BBC Radio 3 - Composer of the Week, Carl Nielsen (1865-1931), Episode 3

WIth Nielsen's comic opera about masked balls and his final string quartet.

Donald Macleod presents Nielsen's comic opera about the perils and pleasures of masked balls, his final string quartet and the last movement of his exuberant Sinfonia Espansiva.

Donald Macleod explores the life and work of Carl Nielsen, Denmark's best-known composer.

He focuses on Nielsen's wife Marie's pursuit of her own career as a sculptor which kept her away from home for months at a time, leaving the composer to face life-changing decisions on his own. In spite of professional setbacks and a variety of health scares, he continued to compose and in 1906 produced Maskarade, a comic opera about the pleasures and perils of masked balls.

With highlights from Maskarade plus a complete performance of his fourth and final string quartet and part of the successful third symphony - his Sinfonia Espansiva.
