emotional impact or expression

The missing phrase could be something like "the emotional impact of the performance" or "the expressive qualities of the symphony." In the context of a review, the writer is unexpectedly emphasizing or discussing the emotional aspects of the symphony rather than solely focusing on its form or structure. This inclusion adds a surprising and potentially insightful dimension to the review, highlighting the power of the music to evoke emotions in the audience.
