The Philadelphia Orchestra
Simon Rattle, Conductor

Brahms - Symphony No. 3
Webern - Six Pieces for Orchestra
Schumann - Symphony No. 3 (“Rhenish”)

Simon Rattle, in a rare US guest-conducting appearance, leads the sweeping and expressive Third symphonies of both Brahms and Schumann. These create an ideal framework for the revolutionary style of Webern's hyper-romantic Six Pieces for Orchestra. Rattle and Philadelphia, a partnership not to be missed.
