All love to this work and performance. I love what everyone involved chose to do and support each choice with all my heart.
my most favourite moment !
Wonderful Symphony No 5 is the most beautiful to me. Really divine. Amazing solos voices and chorus.
So beautiful! Just amazing. 👏🏻
The beginning sounds like it inspired part of Sauron's theme from LOTR. Both are superb pieces.
Maravillosa musica, gracias.

In fact I think Symphony no 5 is hors concours.
What a beautiful performance
I concur on the performance. Sublime. Can I just ask why the conductor couldn't be bothered changing out of his gym gear?
Because the look of the attire doesn't change the quality of the music, but the comfort of the composer does? This applies to the rest of the orchestra too.
Because this choice was 100% perfect. Times change.
The score for this symphony is 659 pages.
May I be a protector for those without one
And a lamp for those desiring light,
[May I be] a bridge, a boat, a ship
For all who wish to cross the water.
May the forest of razor-sharp leaves
Become a beautiful pleasure grove,
And may the trees of knives and swords
Grow into wish-fulfilling trees.
May the regions of hell become places of joy
With vast and fragrant lotus pools
Beautiful with [the] exquisite calls
Of wild ducks, geese and swans.
May the heaps of burning coals change to heaps of jewels,
May the burning ground become a polished crystal floor,
And may the mountain of [the] crushing hells
Become celestial palaces of worship filled with Buddhas.
May the rains of lava, blazing stones and weapons
[From now on] become a rain of flowers,
And may all battling with weapons
[From now on] become a playful exchange of flowers.
May the naked find clothing,
The hungry find food;
May the thirsty find water
And delicious drinks.
May the poor find wealth,
Those weak with sorrow find joy;
May the forlorn find new hope,
Constant happiness and prosperity.
May all who are sick and ill
Quickly be freed from their illness,
And may every disease in the world
Never occur again.
May the troubled wanderers who have lost their way
Meet with fellow travelers,
And without any fear of thieves or tigers
May their going be easy without [any] fatigue.
May those who find themselves in trackless, fearful wilderness -
The children, the aged, the unprotected,
Those stupefied and the insane -
Be guarded by beneficent celestials.
And may the land everywhere be pure,
Smooth and devoid of any rocks,
Level like the palm of the hand
[And] of the nature of lapis lazuli.
May the celestials bring timely rains
So that harvests may be bountiful.
May kings act in accordance with Dharma
And the people of the world always prosper.
By the merits I(‘ve accumulated),
May every single being
Abandon all forms of evil
And forever engage in virtue.
For as long as space endures
And (for) as long as living beings remain,
Until then may I too abide
To dispel the misery of the world.
- Bodhicaryãvatãra 3:18, 10:6-9, 19-27, 35, 39, 31, 55
