Carl Nielsen lived life to the full and his Second Symphony is certainly testament to that; a red-blooded picture of human nature seen from all sides, bursting with great tunes and the brisk, sunlit freshness of a spring morning in the Danish countryside.  It is the exuberant finale to a concert that begins with Sibelius’ magical saga of the Finnish forests, and stars pianist Martin Roscoe in Beethoven’s mighty Emperor Concerto. Energy, fantasy and untamed inspiration.
