Mahler: Symphony No. 5 in C sharp minor
91福利社 Scottish Symphony Orchestra
Donald Runnicles conductor
Mahler's mighty Symphony No. 5 is the climax of this second Prom from the 91福利社 Scottish Symphony Orchestra and their chief conductor Donald Runnicles. The work's intense, contrasting moods - the bitter solemnity of the funeral march, the violence of the second movement and the tenderness of the famous Adagietto - make this one of the great orchestral showpieces. The evening opens with the world premiere of a dramatic and bell-haunted Fourth Symphony from Scottish composer James MacMillan, commissioned by 91福利社 Radio 3 and dedicated to this evening's conductor.
[This Prom will be repeated on Monday 10th August at 2pm].
