Thomas Dausgaard, Seattle Symphony, Clayton Brainerd, Ed Morris - Sinfonia No. 5 "Visions" (Version for Voices & Orchestra) [Live] (2021) [Hi-Res]

The Seattle Symphony’s world premiere performance of American composer George Walker’s Sinfonia No. 5, “Visions”. Walker wrote this powerful work partly in response to the horrific events of the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church massacre in 2015. This restless composition — recorded in the stunning acoustics of Benaroya Hall — combines spoken text and orchestral music in a bold and impactful score from this Pulitzer Prize-winning composer.
