The highlight of Artsfest for many people is the Fantasia Fireworks finale that takes place on the Saturday evening. The CBSO brings the event to a stunning climax with fireworks reflecting of the gleaming sides of the adjacent Hyatt Hotel. This is an unedited version as a sneak preview. If you enjoy it check out my clip of last years finale which I feel was a slightly better spectacular. It is on YouTube under my allinsite user name.

As a counterpoint to the Mahler 2nd uploaded, here are the same forces in the early 80s peforming the famous 3rd mvmt of Luciano Berio's Sinfonia.

This movement is a parody of the Scherzo of Mahler's 'Resurrection' Symphony, in the composer's words, creating "the image of that of a river running through a constantly changing landscape, disappearing from time to time underground, only to emerge later totally transformed." Under a collage of spoken and sung text fragments by Samuel Beckett, Berio incorporates 20th century musical quotations from Stravinsky's Rite of Spring, Debussy's La Mer, Ravel, Schoenberg, Berg and even himself.
