Beethoven / Nie / Busch - V7: The Launy Grondahl Legacy Music CD

Three major additions to the Grondahl discography, newly recovered from the archives of Danish radio, remastered from the original tapes and released here for the first time. Beethoven's Violin Concerto and the first two movements of Schubert's 'Great' C major Symphony confirm what an exhilarating interpreter Grondahl was of the Austro-German classics. A Danish-language version of Rimsky-Korsakov's neoclassically styled tragi-comedy on the subject of Mozart and Salieri complements a celebrated account of Tchaikovsky's First Piano Concerto, given on the occasion of Grondahl's belated UK debut in September 1951.
