Since opposites attract, it is not surprising that everything from south and east has always exerted a special fascination on inhabitants of northern climes. This was certainly the case at the beginning of the twentieth century in Denmark, where musicians and writers alike felt drawn to exotic subjects.

Carl Nielsen's Aladdin music attests to this fact, and so does a ballet by his contemporary and fellow Nielsen: Ludolf Nielsen's Lakshmi, which we have now recorded in full for the first time. Premiered in Copenhagen in 1922, it doubtless represents Ludolf's greatest stage success.

The action is based on a novel by the Danish Nobel laureate Karl Gjellerup, who had studied Eastern religion and philosophy. Nielsen's feel for orchestral effects enabled him to draw on vast musical resources and to create what is one of the most colourful scores in the whole of Danish music history
