Penny Gore presents music from the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ SSO. Sibelius: Symphony No 5 in E flat. Britten: Overture (The Building of the House). Mahler: Songs (Des Knaben Wunderhorn); Symphony No 5.

Penny Gore presents recent concerts by the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Scottish SO, featuring five Fifth Symphonies. Today she rounds off the week with no fewer than two 'number fives', by composers who - when they met in 1907 - discovered they held diametrically opposed views about what a Symphony should be: Gustav Mahler and Jean Sibelius. And American baritone Thomas Hampson joins the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ SSO and Chief Conductor Donald Runnicles in a selection of Mahler's greatest songs with orchestra.
