Symphony No. 4 “The Inextinguishable”

Album by Carl Nielsen & Berliner Philharmoniker & Herbert von Karajan

Symphony No. 4 'The Inextinguishable' is the fourth symphony by Danish composer Carl Nielsen, completed in 1916. The work is a large-scale orchestral composition characterised by driving rhythmic energy, bold brass and percussion writing and inventive orchestration that has been associated with themes of elemental struggle, marking a move toward a more modernist and intense phase in Nielsen's output during the World War I period.
