Work in focus: Mahler Symphony No. 5
Much of Mahler's Fifth Symphony came into being during the summers of 1901 and 1902, at the composer's holiday cottage at Maiernigg, Carinthia, Austria. It's among Mahler's best known symphonies: its distinguishing features include the assertive trumpet solo that begins the symphony, with its dotted rhythm very similar to the opening of another great Fifth: Beethoven's. Then there's the famously emotional Adagietto slow movement, memorably used in the 1971 film Death in Venice.

Verdi Requiem
Latonia Moore (soprano), Karen Cargill (mezzo-soprano), SeokJong Baek (tenor), Solomon Howard (bass); BBC National Chorus of Wales, Crouch End Festival Chorus, BBC National Orchestra of Wales/Ryan Bancroft
Work in focus: Verdi's Requiem
As we've discussed elsewhere, Requiems in classical music tend to sit somewhere on a spectrum from gentle and ethereal (Fauré's, see Prom 59 below) to blood and thunder / fire and brimstone (well, Verdi's, actually).
The Italian composer's Requiem is the most visceral and theatrical in the requiem repertoire. It begins with terrifying thwacks from the bass drum and a dramatic cascading chorus, and it never (well rarely) lets the tension drop. Perhaps we should not be surprised with all this fearsome majesty, considering the work comes from the pen of one of the greatest opera composers of all time. Conductor Hans von Bülow was not far off when he described it as ‘Verdi’s latest opera, though in ecclesiastical robes’.

Steven Osborne (piano); Sinfonia of London/John Wilson
Work in focus: Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue
Think of some iconic openings to pieces of music. What have you come up with? The opening of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, we'll bet. Perhaps that of another Fifth, Mahler's (the two are not dissimilar, as discussed above). Maybe the start of Mozart's Symphony No. 40?
The beginning of George Gershwin's iconic, game-changing Rhapsody in Blue probably belongs in this exalted company. Yes, it's that incredible clarinet glissando, that irresistibly joyous, rising motif in which the woodwind solo seems to ascend into the clouds.
Gershwin first set down Rhapsody in Blue in 1924, for solo piano and jazz band. It was immediately distinctive for its captivating merging of sounds from the worlds of classical and jazz (the 1920s were a rich time for this kind of boundary crossing: see also Ravel's great Piano Concerto and works by the likes of Milhaud and Martinů). The piece was first performed with Gershwin himself at the piano.
Rhapsody in Blue got several orchestrations from Ferde Grofé (like Gershwin, one of the greatest American composers of all time). Best known among these (and the version in which the work is most often heard) was the full symphonic score from 1942.

Brahms Violin Concerto in D major, Schubert Symphony No. 9 in C major, ‘Great’
Anne-Sophie Mutter (violin), West–Eastern Divan Orchestra/Daniel Barenboim
Work in focus: Schubert Symphony No. 9
Franz Schubert began composing his Ninth Symphony in 1824, after hearing Beethoven’s own Ninth. He must have been deeply inspired by the drama and heft of the older composer's work, as the Ninth (also, and deservedly, known as the 'Great') has an epic power and grandeur that's not often heard elsewhere in Schubert. Its distinctive features include a wonderful first movement that manages to be solemn, boisterous and emotional by turns.
Then there's the poignant, ardent slow movement, much beloved by Schumann (who heard the series of repeated horn notes in the middle as 'calling as through from another sphere'). There's plenty of rhythmic energy across all four movements, and you'll also notice that the brass section in particular gets a really good workout. A wonderful symphony that, with the right performance, can be quite transcendental.

Anu Komsi (soprano); Royal College of Music Chamber Choir, Royal College of Music Symphony Orchestra, Sibelius Academy Symphony Orchestra/Sakari Oramo
Work in focus: Holst's Planets
There's nothing else in the classical repertoire quite like The Planets, Gustav Holst's seven-movement orchestral suite, written during World War I. Each movement of the suite evokes a planet of our Solar System and what Holst imagined to be its astrological character. So, the movement depicting Mars, the Bringer of War, is martial and foreboding; Venus, the Bringer of Peace, is profoundly tranquil; Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity, is boisterous; and Neptune, the Mystic, is otherworldly. Each movement is captivating.
It's become, rightly or wrongly, the piece associated with Holst. There's plenty more from this very fine composer to explore, but The Planets - majestic, haunting, ebullient by turns - is certainly a great place to start.
