BACH Orchestral Suite No. 3
MAHLER Symphony No. 1 “Titan”
Bach’s supreme craftsmanship is reflected in his most popular suite, No. 3, and its famous second movement, “Air on the G String.” A cornerstone of the Baroque orchestral repertoire, the Suite No. 3 brings to mind the lightness of clouds in a perfect blue sky. Next, witness how Mahler’s visionary Symphony No. 1 “Titan” changed the very definition of the symphony.
