As the furious crescendo finally tapers and night falls, a violin draws a melancholic tune while the caravan beds down, their horses shifting in the darkness. After the show you won't want to leave, and may sit down and order a feast of your own in the velvet-curtained dining pavilion.

The final Allegro was undoubtedly the favorite of the brass section, who nevertheless resisted the urge to overblow the exciting theme. The strings and winds played the technical sections leading up to the final crescendo with a clarity that bespoke good rehearsing habits. After the symphony ended with a bang, the audience got on their feet for enthusiastic and well-deserved applause...
