Since his stormy debut with The Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, conductor Daniele Gatti has been a regular guest at the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, where he has established a fruitful working relationship. On this CD, he conducts the orchestra in two key works by Alban Berg - his early 'Three Orchestral Pieces' in combination with the suite from his unfinished opera 'Lulu', his swan-song. Both pieces - conducted from memory during the concert performances - receive ominous and atmospheric readings from Maestro Gatti.
