Who knew that they toned it down a couple notches on the released recording. According to the youtube post this was the first performance after the dreaded restoration on orchestra hall. From the first note it is apparent that this will be a full bore performance. Arnold jacobs on tuba sings out mighty bass lines with aggresive phrasing and never forced sound. Check it

For many years but since being bitten by audiophiles have been put off by its poor sonics. Can anyone recommend a recording that comes close to the balance and structure of Horenstein's interpretation from another maestro?
"Who knew that they toned it down a couple notches on the released recording...".
THAT recording, IMO, is the only recording of the piece to get. As good as many others are, it truly stands apart. It's definitive.
I don't say that often, because I believe that there are many ways to approach any given, worthy, artistic work. But, the Martinon/CSO recording's so, so, so incredible, it just defines "definitive" for me.
I find it hard to believe that they'd done it even better. We're all so very, very, very lucky.
Is this the recommended disc?

Excuse the lateness of this reply; I took the holiday off. Yes - Martinon/CSO on RCA. Good sound, too. Up front, not distant.
I love Nielsen, and this symphony in particular. OMG OMG OMG!!!! :-) Even on youtube it sounds unbridled and explosive. But I'm a little confused; is the OP a reference to a different version of the CSO recording, or the RCA release which is currently available?
The linked version is live and not available commercially, must have been recorded off the radio. please check it out if you have time, lots of energy!
The much overlooked Nielsen #3 with Ehrling/DNO on Audiofon CD72025, a live performance, transcribed unedited from a concert at Washington's Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in 1984. A real blast.
I love it also, however the SFSO Bloomstead set is also very good. Nielsen to me needs a virtuosic orchestra and a condctor who gets clean/clear phrasing and articulation out of said orchestra. I posted a live La mer with Martinon and CSO that is equally as good. Amazing how different they sound on the Nielsen.
Until recently, I've overlooked both Martinon and Munch. Lately, I've been finding that that's a big mistake. I need to check out the Debussy.
With Martinon, I understand that he was also a composer, and it seems that he brought that intelligence to his conducting work.
