The devotional quality of Bruckner’s symphonies has led some to see them as ‘cathedrals in sound’. But that’s only half the story. At least as important as their unique atmosphere of spiritual exaltation is their sense of a dramatic struggle to overcome the pain and frustration of life. Bruckner’s Fifth Symphony is his longest and in some ways most complex work – a huge edifice that poses a real challenge to both orchestra and conductor. Ilan Volkov has already proved himself a wonderful exponent of Bruckner’s inspiring music with the BBC SSO in the warm and detailed acoustic of City Halls, and this performance is surely one to look forward to. Violinist Daniel Hope, one of today’s most extraordinary, multi-faceted classical music artists, prefaces this monumental symphony with the intimacy of a concerto by JS Bach.
6.45pm Pre-Concert Prelude (in the Recital Room): Richard Holloway, writer, broadcaster, and former Bishop of Edinburgh, discusses music and religion.
NB there will be no Coda after this concert
