Stefan Wood Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Berkshire music has this wonderful 3 cd set of Carl Nielsen symphonies, conducted by Ole Schmidt on Regis for $11.97. Highly recommended and at a good price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Lark Ascending Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Berkshire music has this wonderful 3 cd set of Carl Nielsen symphonies, conducted by Ole Schmidt on Regis for $11.97. Highly recommended and at a good price! I have these on separate LP from the 70s. They were my first exposure to Nielsen and drew me in.

Spontooneous Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Stefan's right. Impressive performances. I'm especially fond of the Fourth and Sixth in this set. The Regis remastering is an improvement over the earlier CD mastering on Unicorn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 1960 Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Great price. Can't speak for the performances. I own the Blomstedt/San Francisco Symphony collection and I'm pretty happy with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Wood Posted September 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 The Schmidt and the Blomstedts are considered the best of the bunch. I prefer the Regis cds as I feel the performances are a bit stronger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spontooneous Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 I can't for the life of me understand why the Blomstedts are so highly rated. To me, he seems to miss a lot in this music, especially the humor. But his San Francisco set is much better than his first one, for EMI.

I'm with you there but I only know the EMI recordings from the lp box. The Schmidt set is dandy - I had it in the original Unicorn lp box and have had the Regis set for a few years.
