The Launy Grøndahl Legacy, Vol. 5

10,00 $ – 19,00 $

Launy Grøndahl, conductor

In many ways the career of Launy Grøndahl (1886-1960) – first as a violinist, then as conductor and composer – was typical of many Danish musicians at the turn of the last century. If they landed a post in one of the larger orchestras in Copenhagen, such as the Royal Danish Orchestra or Tivoli Symphony Orchestra, they would still have to find work out of season: a holiday job with the Copenhagen Zoo orchestra, perhaps, or cinema orchestras (from about 1920), private music associations or theatres. They might also satisfy creative urges by composing.

This career path had sufficed for the young Carl Nielsen during the 1880s, and Grøndahl pursued it for himself hardly more than a decade later. At the tender age of 13 he played his first concerts with the Casino Theatre orchestra in the Danish capital, becoming a permanent member of the ensemble seven years later and continuing his studies with Axel Gade (violin) and Ludolf Nielsen (composition). In 1919 Grøndahl left the Casino Theatre, having developed his conducting talents. However, his life was shortly to take a career-defining turn.
