Herbert Blomstedt je švédský dirigent amerického původu, známý svým přístupem k hudbě založeným na starosvětských ideálech. Byl prvním dirigentem Dánského národního symfonického orchestru v letech 1967 až 1977.
Toto SACD vydání Nielsen: Symphonies Tone Poems & Concertos přináší kompletní symfonické dílo dánského skladatele Carla Nielsena (1865–1931). Nahrávky zahrnují všech šest symfonií, včetně The Four Temperaments a Sinfonia semplice, doplněné o symfonické básně jako Pan and Syrinx či Helios Overture. Nielsen je skladatel, který vstřebal atmosféru své vlasti, jeho partitury jsou jasné a používal progresivní tonalitu.
