Symphony no. 5 / Symphony no. 6 "Sinfonia semplice"

Album by Carl Nielsen & New York Philharmonic & Alan Gilbert

Symphony No. 5 and Symphony No. 6, "Sinfonia semplice", are orchestral works by Danish composer Carl Nielsen, composed in 1922 and 1925 respectively. They exemplify Nielsen's late style, featuring heightened chromaticism, abrupt shifts in mood, rhythmic vitality and inventive orchestration, and they occupy a pivotal place in his career as explorations of expanded symphonic form and expressive irony.
