02. II. Adagio
03. III. Scherzo: Molto vivace

When people speak of Brucknerian “cathedral edifices”, then this description best applies to his 5th Symphony in B-flat major. This work ranks as a paradigm of the most complicated polyphony in symphonic writing and concurrently as a stirring confession of faith.
The yearning for divine light, for hope and faith – these ideas are communicated in the music and directly touch the listener.
