A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

I was looking forward to catching up on this - though I skipped the actor led first half.
I enjoyed the first movement if perhaps deliberately lacking in mystery I struggled though with the Scherzo - garbled for me though the contrast with the Trio was perhaps even more striking than normal . The Adagio was absolutely gorgeous albeit very much an Andante for much of it ! How all the wind lines emerged from texture . Finale just starting ...
A truly joyful finale - very good singing and great fun.
Would I like to hear it this way all the time - No but it was original and exciting.Last edited by Barbirollians; 01-10-24, 13:55.
