The music of the three countries that make up what we now know as Scandinavia -- Norway, Denmark, and Sweden -- plus Finland,is largely known through the works of three great composers: the Norwegian Edvard Grieg, The Dane Carl Nielsen, and Swedishspeaking Finn Jean Sibelius. This new set of 6 CDs not only brings together a selection of works by these three masters, but also puts them in the company of some other lesser-known, but no less deserving, composers such as Niels W. Gade, Franz Berwald, Armas Järnefelt, Ture Rangström, Lars-Erik Larsson,and more!
This set is a perfect way for fans of Sibelius, Nielsen, and Grieg to explore the marvelous works of their compatriots, shining a spotlight on the criminally-neglected music of Scandinavia!
