Symphonies 1 & 2

Album by Carl Nielsen & Radion sinfoniaorkesteri & Jukka‐Pekka Saraste

Symphonies Nos. 1 and 2 are orchestral works by Danish composer Carl Nielsen, composed in 1892 and 1902 respectively. They chart Nielsen's development from late-Romantic influences towards a more individual symphonic voice, characterised by bold orchestration, energetic rhythms and contrapuntal textures, and occupy a formative place in his early symphonic output that helped shape his later style.
