By now, you may have figured out that one of Thomas Søndergård’s favorite composers is Richard Strauss. This time, he draws our attention to Strauss’ only work for piano and orchestra with decorated soloist Yeol Eum Son making her Minnesota Orchestra debut. There are many great moments in Mahler’s Symphony No. 5, including a moving Adagietto which some scholars have described as a love letter to his wife, Alma.
