About This Song
About "Symphony No. 1 in C Major, GB 115: IV. Finale. Allegro vivace" by Georges Prêtre
Prêtre drives Bizet's finale with sunlit exuberance. Allegro vivace bursts like a cork, strings and winds chasing each other through a meadow of C major. The tension is pure joy versus the knowledge that the symphony must end—a sprint toward the finish line, breathless and grinning.
