Imagine this. The most rapturous love-letter ever written
without words. From tragedy to triumph.

Premiere, BBC commission
Mahler Symphony No.5 (c.70 mins)
Claire Booth soprano
Ryan Wigglesworth conductor
With
their very first sounds, a composer creates a world. Mahler opens his Fifth
Symphony with an ominous fanfare: the first step on a journey through midnight
storms, leaping horn-calls, and possibly the most tender love-letter ever
written without words, the rapturous Adagietto. British composer Helen
Grime, meanwhile, has dived deep into the pages of Zoe Gilbert’s novel Folk,
drawing on Scottish, Irish and Manx folklore – as well as the magic of a full symphony
orchestra – to create an extraordinary new adventure for soprano Claire Booth,
who gives the world premiere today. Fellow composer (and BBC SSO Chief
Conductor) Ryan Wigglesworth brings both worlds to life: it’s a truly fantastic
way to launch a new season.
