“… There’s so much to love. Tenor and bass soloists Adam Riis and Palle Knudsen are glorious in their many solo numbers; the former’s “Like Golden Amber Is My Girl” a highlight. The “Echo Song” just before the close is another treat, a distillation of Nielsen fingerprints… Nielsen was a wonderfully catchy melodist. Andreas Delfs leads a performance brimming with affection, his Odense Symphony Orchestra collaborating with a sizeable cast of instrumentalists, singers and speakers… It’s all enchanting. If you’re a Nielsen fan (and if not, why not?) you need this disc.”

“…Throughout, the mood is good-natured and there seldom is a hint of Nielsen's later style Performances are exemplary. The recording was made in the Carl Nielsen Concert House in Odense January/February 2020, and the engineering is excellent. A 40-page booklet is provided with profuse program notes and complete texts and translations. This is an important addition to the Nielsen discography.”
