An astonishing event last night at Carnegie Hall, with Daniele Gatti leading the Vienna Philharmonic in Brahms Symphonies No. 3 and 1 (in that order). More to come, but suffice to say these were among the most intense, passionate performances of these symphonies I've ever heard, rivaled only by Berlin's cycle five years ago.
