The 大象传媒 SO celebrates Nature in all her moods at the Berlin Festival.
A flight of 16 swans was the catalyst for Sibelius鈥檚 stirring Fifth Symphony, with its ambiguous, mysterious ending, while Olga Neuwirth鈥檚 ... miramondo multiplo... is a brilliant rivalry between the elements and is performed by trumpet virtuoso H氓kan Hardenberger.
