Music Director Jaap van Zweden leads the epic Fifth Symphony by his predecessor, Gustav Mahler. This five-movement symphonic tour de force encompasses intense passion, demonic energy, and breathtaking radiance.
MAHLER (1860–1911)
Symphony No. 5 (1901–02)
PART I
1. Trauermarsch: in gemessenem Schritt. Streng. Wie ein Kondukt. (Funeral March: With measured step. Strict. Like a cortège)
2. Stürmisch bewegt, mit grösster Vehemenz (Stormily, with greatest vehemence)
PART II
3. Scherzo: Kräftig, nicht zu schnell (Vigorously, not too fast)
PART III
4. Adagietto: Sehr langsam (Very slow)
5. Rondo-Finale: Allegro giocoso
Sometimes it’s hard to express how we’re feeling, especially when emotions are overwhelming or confusing. Listen to how music and poetry can help us make sense of, and communicate, big feelings so we can reconnect with those we love. Recommended for ages 12 and up.
