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 composer’s 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 composer’s four movements make for a majestic whole, concluding with one of the most overwhelming denouements in all music. Before it, the BBC Singers, celebrating its centenary this year, offers the most sublime of palate cleansers: three of Bruckner’s most radiant motets, inspiring testaments to the faith that kept his creative flame alive.

Presented by Martin Handley, live from the Royal Albert Hall, London.
