Continuing our celebration of Nielsens 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 Nielsens 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 Brahmss warmly Romantic Violin Concerto, with Danish-Israeli Nikolaj Znaider.
