Reiner's characteristic precise sense of rhythm harmonizes with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra's string section's clean legato, delivering the clear and sophisticated tones of nature like a landscape painting. ▪︎ Beethoven: Symphony No. 6 in F major, Op. 68 "Pastoral" 4th Movement 'Thunder, Storm' & 5th Movement 'Mockga Song. Joy and gratitude after the storm') It is an impressive masterpiece where the passionate sound of the storm, driven fiercely by timpani and brass, is immediately contrasted by the woodwinds and strings playing melodies of gratitude and tranquility. Reiner meticulously tunes the dynamics of the storm and then leads a dense harmony in the following finale, leaving a deep musical resonance. ■ Tracklist Side 1 Symphony No. 6 in F major, Op. 68 "Pastoral" 1st Movement: Allegro ma non troppo 2nd Movement: Andante molto mosso Side 2 3rd Movement: Scherzo: Allegro 4th Movement: Allegro 5th Movement: Allegretto
