There is a short article and selective work list in Grove, which uses the
Danish o with a / through it, oe in the Anglicised version.  Treat the name
as if spelt Borresen, and you'll find him.

I'd like clarification of the label and the number of the symphony, as I've
not seen any mention of his music on Naxos otherwise.  Is it a Da Capo CD,
or perhaps released under the Naxos imprint only in some countries?
