Ludolf Nielsens third symphony op. 32 is one of the biggest danish symphonies ever written and marks the end of LN's symphonic work. This monumental four-movement work stands under a motto of Viggo Stuckenberg. "Verden ser jeg med Blomster besat/ved, Lykken kræven en Uvejrsnat" - "I see the world adorned with flowers/ but know, that luck requires a storming night". This storming night can be heard in the third and also in the forth movement. The third one, a "sommer-idyll" was written under the impression of Magnus Lemche death. This very close friend died in 1912 with just 31 years.
Biggest is meant in comparison with the orchestral setting (six horns, two harps, etc are very seldom in danish scores). But you're quite right, Klenau's 9th is much longer than Nielsens third. By the way - Leif Segerstam is not danish :-) - CB
