I have fallen in love with a symphony that has been running through my head all night and its name is Symphony No. 5 in C Sharp Minor by Gustav Mahler.
At Miami Summer Music Festival's opening concert last night I was glued to my seat in awe, emotions running freely through me with Mahler's music. Michael Rossi and the orchestra blew me away with their musicality, somehow taking me on this journey with them and leaving me mentally worn and yet so intensely joyfully stimulated at the same time. Particularly, the second movement, Stürmisch Bewegt: Mit grösster Vehemenz, pulled at my heartstrings and left me with a need to hear it over and over again, and I did.
Bravo, MSMF!
