DESCRIPTION: A profound performance by the late British pianist John Ogdon of this great and unjustly overlooked music. One of Nielsen's greatest works and perhaps his greatest work for piano. It is amazingly original and varied music, like no other. It has clarity, severity, and brilliance, and separates itself from the sensuous romantic piano music of the 19th century. Composed in 1919, recorded here in 1968. Visit his wife, Brenda Lucas' website for more in-depth information http://www.brendalucasogdon.com/
