Ironically, Riisager once stated: the symphony is dead... long live music! And he went on to compose five symphonies. But not Nielsenian ones, indeed.
DaCapo is right to record these works, but I wish they also recorded Svend Schulz's symphonies, or the remaining four by Ebbe Hamerik.
I would compare Riisager to Milhaud in his general style, uneven inspiration and unpredicability(quirkiness is appropriate), but these 3 new symphonies may give you second thought about DeCapo's judgement.
Tragically, it seems that his most bland and trivial works are the most popularized. I for one, am deeply appreciative that Decapo recorded these works, they are masterfully orchestrated and chock full of delights.
