Nielsen / Kancheli / Tchaikovsky
The Danish composer Carl Nielsen is considered one of the outstanding personalities of world symphonism in the first half of the 20th century. The overture Helio presents him as a composer with a rich sonic imagination as well as a constructor; it is conceived precisely according to the proportional law of the golden section. The music of the Georgian composer Giju Kancheli springs from quite different sources. Each of his opuses is a meditation and a plunge into the depths of the subconscious of man and humanity. Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's Suite No. 3 is actually a symphonic project in terms of conception and volume, with the composer not so rigorously addressing the microstructure of shapes and relationships.
Works from this programme also exist on record. These are different recordings — the performers and the year usually differ.
