After the death of Mahler in 1911 the great Austro-German symphonic line was carried on mainly in England, America, Scandinavia and Russia. The Fifth Symphony of Carl Nielsen, Denmark's greatest composer, was composed in 1921-22 and is not only his masterpiece but one of the finest of all twentieth-century symphonies, representing a powerful renewal of the Beethovenian tradition. David Fanning's detailed and absorbing guide blends detailed analytical commentary with less formal summaries of the music's character. It is the only non-Danish publication on Nielsen to take full account of Danish scholarship and criticism.
