Voss's Symphony No. 16, a fourteen-movement canvas in the lineage of Mahler and Bruckner — grieving and vast, a whole continent vanished beneath the sea, desolate and immense. The baritone surfaces from the orchestral depths in wordless vocalise across a half-hour single arc from a hushed prelude to an unresolved, overwhelming finale.
