Transcending the inescapable stream of semi-consciousness so well described here by Mr. Stefanovic, the orchestra showed clear command of the music and able response to the reading and direction, which gave it as much purpose and direction as it can be given. The brass section shone, providing much needed fanfaric relief to those aimless wanderings of harmonic progression. The main cello lines were rapturous. For those who left after Yuja Wang, you missed the real treat of the evening.Franca Bartonnoreply@blogger.com
