Penguin Guide

If you have ever wondered why Neilsen's music inspires such devotion among his followers...marvelous performances, excellently recorded...unobtrusive genius of the work - a discovery as simple and miraculous as the sun on your face on a spring morning...should surely be a huge success in this country...the Aladdin Suite...might well enjoy something like the popularity of Peer Gynt.
