The bicentenary of one of the world's most famous storytellers, Hans Christian Andersen, is celebrated with a specially commissioned work based on his tale of sacrifice, unconditional love and watery death, The Little Mermaid. The Danish connections continue with Grieg's popular concerto (which he composed just outside Copenhagen) and Carl Nielsen's life-affirming fifth symphony.
