This review is from: Lepo Sumera: Symphony No. 5; Music for Chamber Orchestra; In memoriam (Audio CD)
I am still warming up to this CD - the fifth Symphony is the most complex one I've heard from Sumera. It is in a single long movement. There are few melodies to latch on, almost an exercise in long range planning and movement than a symphony in several movements. I like some moments more than others, but it is certainly more experimental than his other music and I admire that.

The music for chamber orchestra is a bit too long in places without the forward momentum I feel is present in his symphonies. In Memoriam sounds like a piece by a recent music graduate who is more in love with orchestral sounds than form.

Overall, I recommend this one for fans of the composer, but make sure you start with the other four symphonies before hitting this one.
