Update on 3 releases

The reception of the Danish cellist's recording of J.S. Bach's iconic *Six Suites for Solo Cello* has been overwhelming. The album has received enthusiastic reviews and top ratings everywhere. The English magazine *Gramophone* selected the release as Editor's Choice. The production, with Mikkel Nymand as producer, has also garnered significant international recognition. The album was also released in Dolby Atmos format.

World premiere recordings of Carl Nielsen's own arrangements for four-hand piano have also been released. The album *ESPANSIVA* featuring two of Denmark's finest pianists, Rikke Sandberg and Kristoffer Hyldig, has just been released and has already received considerable national and international attention. Producer Preben Iwan’s sound engineering has, as usual, earned top marks, and this album is also available in Dolby Atmos format.

We have just uploaded OUR Recordings’ 8th release, featuring the Danish composer Axel Borup-Jørgensen, who would have turned 100 on November 22nd this year. The album consists of some of the composer’s chamber music works, and we are very pleased to have collaborated with the wonderful Esbjerg Ensemble on this album. The album will be released on November 15th.
