‘A great performance of the Fifth is a transforming experience’, Herbert von Karajan once said. A work of huge emotional scope, it opens with a funereal trumpet solo and ends in a triumphant, exuberant finale. The serene poise of the famous Adagietto at its heart is anticipated in Urlicht, a beautiful setting of the religious folk-poem ‘Primeval Light’, one of six song settings from the collection of German folk poetry Des Knaben Wunderhorn also performed this evening.
