Live from the Barbican Hall, the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra and Chief Conductor Ji脜聶脙颅 B脛聸lohl脙隆vek continue their cycle of Martin脜炉 with Symphony No 5, along with Brahms' German Requiem.
'The artist is always searching for the meaning of life, his own and that of mankind, searching for truth,' wrote Martin脜炉. His Fifth Symphony, written for the Czech Philharmonic and premiered by the orchestra at the Prague Spring Festival in 1947, sets out the composer's vision of truth in music of tender lyricism, rhythmic animation and crystalline structural clarity. Brahms, like Martin脜炉, is central to Ji脜聶脙颅 B脛聸lohl脙隆vek's repertoire. The conductor turns here to the German Requiem and its uplifting message of comfort to those who mourn.
