1. how you come across to it:
First time in Munich, when I've decided to kill time with my travelmates, before the night train to Berlin, by attending a concert of Munich Philharmonic and never knew the programme nor conductor. They played, then fell in love with this piece.
2. why this piece?
It's Brahms but heavily made up by Schoenberg, and it's a good piece of orchestral exam. Every instrument, from violin down to xylophone, clarinet to trombone, has chance to shine. Horn's melody in 2nd movement must be a nightmare for all horn players in the world.
3. (and...)
I think de Waart likes this piece very much, otherwise he won't squeeze HKPO to play the thing with their utmost effort. Darkly brilliant.
