...flat Major, "Spring." 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.

The driver of a Highland Express cab (working 24-hr. shifts) is a robust woman with a basket of huge apples by her side. Nagano is a world of deep, ancestral sounds: the traditional melody of a potato seller audible downtown; the mournful strains of an enka ballad (often known as Japanese country-and-western) in a tiny noodle shop; the martial tunes that reverberate around...
