Excellent perfomance.

I'm ashamed of my species when I read a comment like that at the bottom. The Argentine composer is a reason for dispensing thanks on this day set aside to do so. When I have need to remember how contemplative, how tender, how truly rich the human soul can be, I listen to the movement beginning at 25:45

Me gusta mucho esta sinfonía es una de las más lindas de Alberto Williams. Solo conozco la Primera, Segunda, Tercera, y la Septima Se que se hizo una versión de la Sexta pero por ahora no esta disponible. Muchas gracias por poder compartirla.

El gran Alberto Williams fue discípulo de César Franck y maestro de Sebastián Piana , dió sus primeros conciertos a la edad de 9 años . Perteneció a la escuela francesa impresionista en principio para luego tomar elementos del folklore argentino, , logrando obras maravillosas como la Suite argentina y otras de inspiración folklórica. Junto a Hargreaves y López-Buchardo inicio de un estilo que culmina en Guastavino, y Ginastera

Elegant and world-class conducting. This is a very fine university orchestra

[@RobertoBuffo]

Themes are INTENTIONALLY underdeveloped in this symphony because of its programatic nature. Richness of musical creativity in Williams' music is abundant and the fact that themes are not developed in a standard sonata-form way does not at all invalidate the geniality of this piece. Pay attention to orchestration, for example. Besides, this Fifth Symphony is a heart-touching tribute to the folk music of Argentina.
In any case, if you want to find excellent examples of Williams as a "typical formalist", honoring having been pupil of Cesar Franck, listen to the two Concert Overtures or the Eigth Symphony,

Thank you for bringing this music to Utah, it was a pleasure to learn and perform it! Definitely deserves to be heard. I wish his music was more accessible.

An amazing and genial theme, but totally underdeveloped: it didn't create an atmosphere, it doesn't have an internal logic, it starts well but goes nowhere, it doesn't do what it promises at the beginning, without its own style... totally dull and emotionless. Now it is understood why Mozart is Mozart, Bach is Bach and an anonymous Argentine is an anonymous Argentine, although creative, but without the necessary brilliance to have been an immortal of music. Alberto Willians looks like be better on piano works instead orchestra. On time: the orchestra is great and did their best.
