Curiously titled Sinfonia semplice, Nielsen’s Sixth Symphony is anything but simple; instead, the symphony winds itself into a series of melodic riddles and paradoxes. Paired with this characterful work is Beethoven’s Triple Concerto for Violin, Cello and Piano which fizzes with unexpected twists and turns.
