Symphony no. 4 "Indextinguishable" / Symphony no. 5

Album by Carl Nielsen & London Symphony Orchestra & Ole Schmidt

Symphonies No. 4 (The Inextinguishable) and No. 5 are orchestral works by Danish composer Carl Nielsen, composed and premiered in 1916 and 1922 respectively. The Fourth pits energetic rhythmic conflict and orchestral colour against each other in a tone-poem-like structure reflecting wartime tensions, while the Fifth pursues a more austere, contrapuntal architecture and a probing exploration of fate and transformation, marking a late phase in Nielsen's symphonic development and his contribution to early 20th-century orchestral music.
