After Carl Nielsen, Louis Glass surely has to be regarded as Denmark’s greatest composer of the first half of the twentieth century. His six symphonies clearly occupy the center of his oeuvre. We are now beginning a new edition of this highly interesting work complex, together with shorter symphonic compositions, some of them in world-premiere recordings.
