Immerse yourself in the rich, orchestral tapestry of Carl Nielsen's masterful compositions with the album "Carl Nielsen - Ultima." Released on February 22, 2013, under Fazer Records/Finlandia, this collection showcases the depth and breadth of Nielsen's symphonic genius. Spanning over two hours and twenty-six minutes, the album is a comprehensive journey through some of Nielsen's most celebrated works, including his Fourth and Fifth Symphonies, the Violin Concerto, the Clarinet Concerto, and the evocative "At The Bier of A Young Artist."
