What Classical Music Are You Listening To?

I meant the Serenades themselves are 'light' by comparison with the grander orchestral pieces (intentionally so...that's what serenades were). I just find the first in particular wonderfully mellifluous. I know Brahms was a great champion of Dvorak - I'm not sure of the chronology but I wonder if their might have been an influence on Brahms there in the sense that I often hear something deeply rural in Dvorak. What is odd is the serenades were traditionally night music - these pieces just seem to evoke Arcadia in all its daylight glory. But I'm undoubtedly reading that onto the music. 

  

got it .... simply stated that in Chailly`s hands these disclose some deeper insights of the composers "second thoughts" .... probably ....

Don't know about those 'second thoughts'. Did Brahms revise the serenades? I'm quite new to Brahms - although I've known three of the symphonies (1, 3, 4) since the 70s he's someone who never clicked with me until three or four years back (a chance hearing of the Violin Concerto on the radio).
