The Danish composer Carl Nielsen (1865–1931) was one of the most important symphonists of the early twentieth century: his six symphonies, written between 1892 and 1925, are the core of his oeuvre. Many of classical music's conductor–orchestra partnerships have recorded the complete set, colloquially known as the "Nielsen cycle". Specifically, the standard cycle includes:
- Symphony No. 1 in G minor, Op. 7 / FS 16 (1892)
- Symphony No. 2, The Four Temperaments (De fire Temperamenter), Op. 16 / FS 29 (1902)
- Symphony No. 3, Sinfonia espansiva, Op. 27 / FS 60 (1911)
- Symphony No. 4, The Inextinguishable (Det Uudslukkelige), Op. 29 / FS 76 (1916)
- Symphony No. 5, Op. 50 / FS 97 (1922)
- Symphony No. 6, Sinfonia semplice, FS 116 (1925)
