Mahler's Fifth Symphony
Portraying an epic journey from the darkness of its opening trumpet fanfares to its jubilant, Bach-inspired finale, by way of the tender Adagietto written as a love-letter to his wife Alma, Mahler's Fifth has it all a whole world in one symphony. It has become a CBSO party-piece in recent years, and Sakari Oramo offers Birmingham audiences a last chance to hear his acclaimed interpretation as the Orchestra embarks on a major European tour that will embrace performances in Germany, Holland, Switzerland and Italy. Haydn's cheerful concerto, played by a British cellist with a global reputation, offers a perfect upbeat.
