Daniele Gatti conducts Brahms, Stravinsky and Webern

Clara Schumann wrote effusively about the “mysterious magic of life in the forest” that she felt when listening to Brahms’s Third Symphony. And, over long stretches, the work does indeed seem like a musical representation of idyllic nature. Brahms combines folk song-like melodies with a rich sound world. This inspired the young Anton Webern to write his wistful Langsamer Satz. Igor Stravinsky, on the other hand, modelled his Symphony in C on the First Viennese School. The result is a fresh new interpretation of musical traditions.
