Nielsen - Aladdin

[jazzy_dave]

OMG!! Best find of the day from a charity shop or as we Brits call them - chazzers - was this Decca CD from 1991 for fifty pence. Now I do know Edvard Grieg's Peer Gynt Suites very well, but the Danish Carl Nielsen's Aladdin suite was new to me and what a wonderfully evocative piece of music it is. Here are just a few of the seven pieces that make up the suite. Check this version out if you see it.

Nielsen: Aladdin, Op. 34 - Concert Suite - 1. Oriental Festive March

Nielsen: Aladdin, Op. 34 - Concert Suite - 4. Chinese Dance

Nielsen: Aladdin, Op. 34 - Concert Suite - 7. Negro Dance

ENJOY
