Berliner Philharmoniker led by Sir Simon Rattle at New York City's Carnegie Hall Thursday November, 19 2015. Program included Symphony No. 8 Symphony No. 6, "Pastoral"
"Beethoven’s Symphony No. 8 is a high-energy romp that delights with its exuberant opening, second-movement metronome imitation, Haydn-like minuet, and rollicking finale. The “Pastoral” Symphony is one of the composer’s most cherished creations: a five-movement masterpiece where birdcalls, a rowdy country dance, a thunderstorm, and rejoicing peasants are depicted with richly detailed orchestration."
