BERG

Three Pieces for Orchestra, Opus 6

Michael Tilson Thomas and the San Francisco Symphony present Berg’s spellbinding Three Pieces for Orchestra, launching the Symphony’s new digital-only series by its eight-time Grammy Award-winning in-house record label, SFS Media. Presented in studio master-quality and available for download and streaming worldwide, hear one of the finest examples of Berg’s inventive artistry in a work that builds from a “fragmentary opening to a sensual whirl” then “dips in and out of the waltzes that define musical Vienna,” and finally unites within “the shadow of the huge hammer strokes that ultimately come crashing down on the musical texture.” (SFGate)
