4. "Symphony No. 5, Op. 50, FS 97" {Carl NIELSEN} - Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra - Neeme Järvi, Conductor - 100 Great Symphonies [Deutsche Grammophon ]
   Notes: presents a battle between the forces of order and chaos. A snare drummer is given the task of interrupting the orchestra, playing ad libitum and out of time, as if to destroy the music
