Best-selling American conductor David Zinman conducts the Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich in the Mahler Symphony No. 5, one of the most accessible and one of the loveliest symphonies in the cycle. Portraying an epic journey from the darkness of its opening trumpet fanfares to its jubilant, Bach-inspired finale, it also includes the tender Adagietto written as a love letter to his wife Alma.
