Summary:
Disc 3: "The film focuses on the very special personal and artistic talents that gave Carl Nielsen a unique status as an extremely popular national songwriter on the one hand and an experimental modern composer on the other, as illustrated by archive footage, photographs and musical excerpts performed by the Danish National Symphony Orchestra/DR conducted by Michael Schønwandt. The light and the darkness also includes a portrait of Carl Nielsen's wife, the sculptress Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen, and views her and her art as both motivating and inhibiting factors in the composer's artistic life"--On container.
