Carl Nielsen: Overtures & Suites
Odense Symphony Orchestra
Tamás Vetö
“you can relish this recommendable collection which concentrates on the lighter and more concise Nielsen (five of the nine tracks are theatre music). This is a vividly characterised and easily recommendable anthology and the Little Suite receives one of its most winning recordings ever.” (Rob Barnett, MusicWeb International)
