His renown as an interpreter of Scandinavian composers has obscured Thomas Jensen's excellence as a conductor of the central-European classics. On this collection of newly remastered recordings, most of them issued for the first time since their original broadcasts, he brings authority and a forthright pulse to bear on Haydn, Beethoven and Brahms, in excellent sound from the 1950s and 60s. Note the first ever release of the Brahms Violin Concerto with Isaac Stern from Copenhagen 1961.
