If you receive Naxos' newsletters, be sure not to overlook the album offer that you probably received in your email today. The offer is for an
extra free album download in this month--one that is in addition to the two that we normally receive in a month.
To quote the summary, this album is, "NIELSEN, C.: Violin Concerto • Flute Concerto • Clarinet Concerto Znaider • Langevin • McGill • New York Philharmonic Orchestra • A. Gilbert".
Naxos also states, "“I think in terms of the instruments themselves – I sort of creep into their souls”, said Carl Nielsen (1865-1931). His three solo concertos for violin, flute and clarinet concertos are highly characteristic and expressive works that show how Nielsen developed as a composer, increasingly distancing himself from the classical conventions. This new recording by New York Philharmonic and Alan Gilbert concludes the acclaimed Nielsen Project with soloists Nikolaj Znaider, Robert Langevin and Anthony McGill as the soloists in vivid live recordings from Avery Fisher Hall."
If you're one of the fortunate few who have the equipment and ear to do justice to the higher quality formats, you will want to know that this album is available in
FLAC, as well as MP3.
If you're still "on the fence" about downloading the album, be sure to note the great accolades and the various awards, spread around, that this album has received.
If you want to read more, or are ready to pull the trigger on this great
freebie, point your browser to the URL in the newsletter that you received. That may take you immediately to the download webpage. If you want to access the download from your email message, be sure to open the
entire message and scroll all the way to the bottom of the message, in order to see the
free offer.
If you want the album, but are not on the mailing list for Naxos' newsletter, the jury is still out, in my mind, as to whether or not you will receive an offer for the
free album if you sign up now. If so, I suspect that it will happen only if you sign up right away. One of the webpages from which you can sign up is
this one. There are a couple of places near the top of the page; there may be some elsewhere on the page, also.
Happy listening!
