Thomas Dausgaard conducts his Danish forces in
Tchaikovsky’s ever-captivating Violin Concerto and
Sibelius’s Fifth Symphony, overwhelming in its nobly
expansive final-movement ‘Swan Hymn’ climax.
Three short choral pieces by György Ligeti – including
Lux aeterna, heard in Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space
Odyssey – take us to ethereal heights, while Ligeti
himself recognised the mesmeric, free-floating
character of Rued Langgaard’s 1918 Music of the
Spheres as prefiguring his own style.
