The joy of orchestral music that depicts a cosmic scale through sound
The thick orchestration is meticulously controlled, vividly portraying the character of each movement.
The roar of the brass instruments and the swell of the strings are in opposition, and the driving rhythm permeates every corner. Not only is it large in scale, but the depiction of shadows is also delicate, making it a masterpiece that leaves a rich reverberation after listening.
