Performance NotesNielsen's Overture 'Helias' and 'Symphony No.2' were recorded for broadcast on BBC Four on 23 August 2015.

Broadcast live on BBC Radio 3.

Continuing our celebration of Nielsen’s 150th anniversary, his Second Symphony is an exercise in contrasting moods and textures – the ‘Temperaments’ of the subtitle are the Humours of Greco-Roman medicine: Choleric, Phlegmatic, Melancholic and Sanguine. Less familiar are Nielsen’s choral works – the swelling loveliness of Hymnus amoris, inspired by a Titian painting, and the Three Motets that pay homage to Renaissance polyphony. Completing the programme is Brahms’s warmly Romantic Violin Concerto, with Danish-Israeli Nikolaj Znaider.

Proms premiere of 'Theree MOtets', and 'Hymnus Amoris', Nielson.
