Description
The imposing nature and sweeping expressive range of Joachim Raff's Fifth Symphony has seen it become one of his most popular works in the genre. Its subtitle 'Lenore' refers to a lurid and macabre poem by Gottfried August Burger in which the forlorn heroine forsakes God to join her dead lover on a wild ride through an ultimately horrific night. With its delicately scored and touching love music, celebrated march and brutal finale, this is a spirited and memorable symphony. The overture Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott uses Martin Luther's famous melody to commemorate the drama of the Thirty Years' War.
