A pair of great Danish pianists and celebrated violinists contribute to a wide-ranging programme, which demonstrates Thomas Jensen’s versatility and command of his orchestras in both pillars of the repertoire by Grieg and Tchaikovsky, and a stirring but unfamiliar piano-concerto movement by the Dane August Winding. Strauss’s Till Eulenspiegel’s new to the Jensen discography: a stunning live performance from 1952, newly remastered from the original tapes.
