| Performance Notes | Poor, homesick and misunderstood, Anton Bruckner plunged into despair during the winter of 1875. From the depths of his anguish came astonishing proof of his triumph of will: the composers spirited Symphony No. 5.
For their second night at the BBC Proms, Kirill Petrenko and the Berliner Philharmoniker fill the Royal Albert Hall with a work designed on no less grand a scale. Here the sternness and warmth of the composers four movements make for a majestic whole, concluding with one of the most overwhelming denouements in all of music. Before it, the BBC Singers, celebrating its centenary this year, offers the most sublime of palate-cleansers: three of Bruckners most radiant motets, inspiring testaments to the faith that kept his creative flame alive.
