The Northern Silence is published by Yale University Press, and is just out. The recording of Sibelius's Tapiola is by the Helsinki PO and Leif Sgerstam (Ondine).

The fascinating life and music of Danish composer Carl Nielsen (1865-1931) is the topic of this week's show, and we are delighted to welcome back Andrew Mellor to the Presto Music Podcast to take us through his humble childhood on the island of Funen through to the international acclaim he received as one of the most modernistic symphonic composers of his generation.
