Has there ever been a more assured and delightful opus 1 than Nielsen's Little suite for Strings? Composed and first performed in Tivoli 1888, this three movement piece has long been one of Nielsen's most performed works...superb collection of orchestral music, recorded by the orchestra of his native island, the music in their blood.
