After such a physically and emotionally draining movement, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and its conductor alike seemed to rejoice in the relaxed, waltz-like pace of the gargantuan Scherzo. The introduction of bells and intricate spiccato/pizzicato sections augmented the diversity of texture in the third movement, whose screaming finale prompted Gatti to take a handkerchief from his packet and wipe his cheek before proceeding into the final two movements of Mahler's fifth symphony...
...also worked as a freelance journalist." Di Cosmo says. "One day, a Chinese director I interviewed drafted me to be in his film, Xi-An Incident, where Chiang Kaishek is kidnapped. I played an American military officer who was invited to a ball. I had to learn how to waltz for the scene, but then again, I got to dance with a very attractive actress...

...Vienna Woods or pose in a G-string for publicity shots. All he does is look handsome and make music--a concept as old-fashioned as the music he makes. Therein, in fact, may lie the real secret of his success: the perpetually hummable tunes of the 19th century waltz king after whom Rieu's orchestra is named. "When I want a melody/ Lilting through the house,/ Then I want a melody/ By Strauss," Ira Gershwin wrote in 1936, and six intervening decades of swing, rock and hip-hop have done nothing to diminish the truth of his words.
