The Dane Carl Nielsen was one of the most original composers at the turn of the 20th century. Based on the German Romantic tradition he developed his own musical language, especially in his symphonies that are still played very frequently. He also, however, often turned to chamber music settings. Canto serioso was originally written as an audition piece for the Copenhagen Opera Orchestra, where the position of low horn player was to be filled. Thus Nielsen’s fairly short work makes the most of the low register and the instrument’s sonorous mid-range. A welcome addition to the late Romantic repertoire for horn!

说起北欧的音乐家，相信大家首先会想起芬兰的西贝柳斯与挪威的格里格，但请大家不要忘了丹麦当时也出了一位伟大的音乐家，那就是卡尔·尼尔森（1865-1931）。尼尔森的作品现在不经常上演，在世界上的知名度远不如前两者，但其实他也写了不少优秀的作品的。

他一共作了六首交响曲，三首协奏曲（小提琴、单簧管与长笛），两部歌剧、多部戏剧配乐、许多合唱音乐、钢琴作品和管风琴曲，还有不少室内乐作品与其他管弦乐作品，“是个多面手”。
