Hi Tyson,
To answer yesterday’s question, I certainly hear Carl Nielsen in his work, especially Nielsen’s Fifth and Sixth Symphonies though supposedly in public Langgaard dismissed his work. I can also hear Mahler, Strauss and Wagner.

I think Langgaard's Sixth is another very exciting symphony. There’s a lot of dynamic punch and drama in his work. His influence on Per Norgard is pretty obvious.

I think most people their Langgaard journey with Music of the Spheres.

As in all things, ymmv.

Cheers,
Lester

Thanks! Hmmm, since I'm still working on appreciating Nielsen, maybe I'll hold off on Langgaard for a while longer.

Or, if you hear Mahler and Wagner - which if Langgaards works lean in that direction the most? Maybe I'll start with those....

Well, you should consider Music of the Spheres as a litmus test. But again, ymmv, and as Andolink mentioned earlier, writing about music is like dancing about architecture, though he obviously hasn’t seen my Homage to I.M. Pei Pas de Deux which always receives high marks when performed in our house.

Anyway, I think you’ll find him more accessible than Carter, another favorite.

I got that CD when it came out, since the work "Symphonia" was getting a big play in the magazines. I couldn't get into it, however. My tastes have evolved since then, so I should dig it out and try it again. Thanks for the reminder.
