Album by Carl Nielsen & RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra & Adrian Leaper
Symphonies Nos. 4 and 5 are orchestral works by Danish composer Carl Nielsen, completed in 1916 and 1922. They showcase Nielsen's movement into early 20th-century modernism, employing robust rhythmic drive, bold orchestral colours and a tension-to-resolution approach to form that marks a pivotal stage in his symphonic development.
