...Here the layering of textures is much deeper than in Brahms' work, with a fanfare from the trumpets heralding the arrival of a multitude of entrances from all sections of the orchestra. Mimicking the bustle of springtime with trilling ornamentation and a robust tone, the Berlin Symphony Orchestra lost none of the momentum it received with Derek Han's performance; even the more placid Larghetto was imbued with the anticipation of motion and activity to be delivered in ensuing Scherzo.
