In 2025, with a very large donation from Carl Nielsen and Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen's Legacy, I will record Carl Nielsen's complete works for solo piano. These are both well-known works but also a good handful of newly discovered small works that have never been recorded before. In addition, Carl Nielsen himself has arranged some of his own music for solo piano, including Dances from Aladdin and selected movements from "The Mother".
It has been a natural progression for me to throw myself into this music now, after having found a four-hand piano arrangement Carl Nielsen himself made of his 3rd symphony, Sinfonia Espansiva, which I have performed at numerous concerts with fine colleagues in 2019.
In 2023 I recorded it and a few other small 4-handed works by Carl Nielsen, together with pianist Kristoffer Hyldig and the CD was released in 2024 on OUR recordings. It was amazing to find uncharted territory by our national composer and it aroused my curiosity and desire to engage much more with Carl Nielsen.
At the age of 12, I became a student of pianist Anne Øland, who at the time had made a recording of Carl Nielsen's piano works. Anne Øland was a student of Herman D Koppel who knew Carl Nielsen and also recorded his music. So even though much of the music has already been recorded a few times, also by other fine pianists, it's fun to discover new works that no one has been interested in before and add them to the collection. My recording will be the first complete recording of Carl Nielsen's piano works, as far as we know today, and it is scheduled for release on OUR Recordings in spring 2026, 3 CDs, recorded in the new format "Dolby Atmos" which can give the listener a 3D experience of the music. With me in the Queen's Hall I will be joined by producer Preben Iwan and I'm really looking forward to this projekt❤️
