Known for his conservative style, he is sometimes referred to as the “Sibelius of America” because he particularly favored Nordic culture as a source of inspiration. At the age of 25, he composed the symphonic poem *Before Dawn*, and after this work won the American Prix de Rome, he was granted the honor of studying in Italy. During that time, he also studied orchestration under Respighi, and it was then that he composed a series of works, including this Symphony No. 1 and *The Lament of Beowulf*. Symphony No. 1, “Nordic,” truly carries on Sibelius’s compositional style, combining tranquility with grandeur. “Beowulf,” meanwhile, is the name of the hero from the English epic poem, to which Hanson has set magnificent, tension-filled music.\nNaxos Japan\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.Symphony No. 1 'Nordic': 1.
