Magnificent Symphony with beautiful and spaceous melodies typical of the 1900's. Borresen Symphonies belong amongst the great Danish tradition paved by Weyse, Kunzen, Hartmann, Gade, Helsted and Nielsen. Bravo KuhlauDiffeng2, this music is a true discovery and should be performed frequently.

I got to know lots of Nordic composers thanks to this channel. And I am so thankful for that ❤

I can´t imagine that I spend my life without knowing this piece. I´m breathless from start to end

Wonderful orchestral color by Borresen; lovely, lyrical uplifting Symphony !!!! The Wikipedia entry mentions Svendsen and Tchaikovsky as likely influences, but, the orchestral color input may have also come from composers such as Berlioz, Mendelssohn, Raff, and others.

Obras magníficas de autores magníficos pouco ou nada conhecidos, que merecem visibilidade; este é um desses, e não há como deixar de agradecer a quem divulga.

Clear Brucknerian roots, as much as Sibelian and Nielsen´ s. Overall, magnificent. A sound DNA creation ( the combination of strings in G minor - sostenuto - with flutes and wind instruments is excellent) makes me searching quickly for other symphonies and orchestral pieces. Thank you so much.

WHAT A GEM. A DELIGHT FROM START TO FINISH

A very tuneful, lush romantic symphony. Thank you for uploading this. Borresen and Alfven have been great discoveries for me lately.

You might enjoy Joachim Raff, Mary Alice Smith, Kurt Atterberg, and Max Bruch. It seems these composers never made it to FM classical stations in the 1980's and 1990's.

Second Movement is Divine, stirs my Swedish Soul greatly.

Having listened to so many works on you tube that are non-popular, non-high volume, non-overplayed works, I am starting to notice the difference in feeling or mood of pre and post WWI pieces. This one is definitely pre-WWI. I so appreciate the assortment of beautiful numbers not played on "classical radio" offered here on "You-Tube."

All of his symphonies are beautifull. The portrait nothing to do here . Danke!

A lovely, engaging symphony.

The score is available through the publisher Edition S

Awesome intensity.

another great upload thank you !

La trovo un'ottima sinfonia di un autore Viking-made. Sviluppo molto personale.Bravo.

🎶✨😔🌷

That is quite a piece, and so is the 2nd symphony. Hakon Borreson bears more looking into. Hard to understand why he so little known. While orchestras were insulting our taste with Dvorak, Tchaikovsky, Copland, Beethoven...he was there all the time!

Fatalitätiske Symfonie!het is Tjajkovskisch melodie!
