Danske sange

"One composer here is one of the great ones: Carl Nielsen ... But while Nielsen in his instrumental works was a relative modernist - more so than Sibelius - his songs were mild and folk song influenced. There are four of them here ... Readers with an interest in historical recordings may have heard them with the incomparable Aksel Schiǿtz. Tonny Landy is however not far behind his legendary compatriot; he has much of the same stylishness, warmth and elegance ... Tonny Landy, who had an uncommonly long career - also internationally - was at the height of his powers in the late sixties and early seventies ... These recordings, for RCA, were made during that period, and he is a safe guide to these melodious gems. On some of the tracks he is accompanied by guitar, which lends a lighter tone to the readings. I derived a lot of pleasure from the disc, and I am sure others will do so too. Undemanding but agreeable songs, sung with taste and warmth".

"At a first glance Danacord's collection 'Tonny Landy: Danish Songs' looks a fairly populist affait but put the CD into your player and you'll encounter a voice that in many key respects is a dead ringer for the great Aksel Schiøtz, the tone, timbre and vibrato similarly light and seductive, the style of singing, phrasing especially, warmly expressive, the gentle manner of portamento equally distinctive. I'd call it a calming bolthole in any storm, variously but always competently accompanied ... It's a delightful disc".
