The imposing nature and sweeping expressive range of Raff's Fifth Symphony has seen it become one of his most popular works in te genre. Its subtitle 'Leonore' refers to a lurid and macabre poem by Gottfried August Bürger in which the forlorn heroine forsakes God to join her dead lover on a wild ride through an ultimately horrific night.
