Classical Music and American Soccer

An Aarhus (Benny Feilhaber and Jerry White represent!) Orchestra conducted by Lance Friedel:

I only listened to "An Imaginary Journey to the Faroe Islands" (as an MP3 purchased from Amazon). It's okay. I also intend to buy at least the Helios Overture. Nielsen is a similar composer to Sibelius (late Romantic with ever so small 20th Century influences whose music is close to that North European nature), but not quite in the same league probably. I do enjoy Nielsen's use of percussion.

Update: I now also have "Helios" and "Saga-Dream." I really like "Helios."
