The hosts find this Danish composer a little enigmatic and difficult to reach. They explore the world around him at the time of this composition, and talk about his music in that context. Find out how he lived his life, allowed his wife to pursue a career, and gave orchestral musicians a little something to talk about. <br />Music Excerpts: <br />NIELSON Symphony No. 2 The Four Temperaments II.
