Symphony No. 3 'Sinfonia Espansiva'
Carl Nielsen
Myung-Whun Chung / Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra
1985Top choice. 'Wonderful sounding' BIS recording. The haunting slow movement (with wordless soprano and baritone) 'sounds wonderful.' The performance is 'beautiful, exciting,' has 'great depth,' and is 'ideal for this work'.
Erik Tuxen / Danish State Radio Symphony Orchestra
1946 Historical recording with limited sound.A historical recording worth hearing despite the sound. It's 'very soulful and committed' and 'really brings home that... life-affirming spirit of this work'.
