Riisager: Concerto for Orchestra; Symphonies nos. 1 & 2; etc
Aarhus SO, Bo Holten
Dacapo 8.226147
As unpredictable and hard to pin down as fellow Dane Nielsen, Knudage Riisager is nevertheless an interesting and important voice. His second symphony recalls Sibelius, other works on the present disc suggest a debt to Martinu and his teacher Roussel. Definitely worth a listen, especially when Dacapo have gone to the trouble of capturing these vivid performances in such good sound.
