Carl Nielsen’s incidental music for The Mother was written for a gala celebrating the reunification, in 1920, of Southern Jutland with Denmark - one of the most important events in Denmark in the 20th century. This year the 100th anniversary is celebrated. • The complete score first appeared in print in 2007 and has never been recorded in its entirety. Thus this recording provides a new picture of the Danish National composer Carl Nielsen as a composer for the theatre. • Carl Nielsen uses familiar songs in the play, including the Danish national anthem as well as a curious use of the national anthems from the allied countries that, with their attacks on Germany, determined the fate of Southern Jutland. • Several of Carl Nielsen’s most popular compositions, including the idyllic work Tågen letter (The Mist Is Rising), originates from The Mother. • The Mother is recorded by tenor Adam Riis, baritone Palle Knudsen, the Danish National Vocal Ensemble, Philharmonic Choir and Odense Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Andreas Delfs.
