"A symphony must be like the world. It must embrace everything."
Probably the most famous quote attributed to Gustav Mahler and when you listen to some of his works it feels like he is changing direction every few notes with the vicissitudes of life. But amid the turmoil he wrote some of the most beautiful romantic music you'll hear. Here Juanjo Mena conducts the BBC Philharmonic.

Supergroup. Ah yes, a bunch of big stars get together only to find they don't like each other. Except in Cream's case they already knew they didn't like each other, at least in the case of Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce.
Cream didn't last long, but they recorded some good stuff including this late song written by Eric Clapton and Beatle George Harrison (with Ringo Star adding the vital line about swans). One for guitarists.

Over five years ago, when the wonderful Vicky Neale instigated and ran the Bulletin, your now self-appointed Song of the Week Editor suggested the odd song or poem to accompany the maths. Those suggestions don't appear in the full Song of the Week list (links now fixed), but to celebrate - or commiserate - Song of the Week at 5, here is the first ever suggestion.
Let Sandy Denny break your heart.
