When my daughters were born (even before they were born) I had the habit of playing classical music at home, exposing them to works by Monteverdi, Bach, Mozart, Fauré and many others. On one occasion, while my wife was breastfeeeding our daughter, the older of the two, I put on Schoenberg's Verklärte Nacht. It was too intense and she asked me to switch off the CD palyer. My wife felt uncomfortable and so did our daughter. It's almost as if she had eaten asparragus and the taste has seeped into her milk. Schoenberg is obviously not the best music for breastfeeding. Maybe his Gurrelieder might be okay but generally it would be wiser to stick to Monteverdi and co.
It's a bit of a leap to go from Schoenberg's Five Pieces for Orchestra to Webern's Five Pieces, don't you think? I can grasp the Schoenberg, but the Webern is terribly dense. I have yet to come to terms with it. I know Rattle is going in roughly chronological order, but something transitional seems to be skipped here, maybe due to time constraints? I look forward to the rest of this series. Thanks for uploading.
I love this piece!
Wonderful documentary

Una pena que no esté subtitulado en español, así no lo pude comprender.
