A descriptive theme on the timpani or a thunderous call from, say, contrabassoon, viola and amplified turnips would better fit that description. <br /><br />Let me point out something you skipped over regarding the Rachmaninov. The reviewer mentions that the conductor "did not effect a balanced sound between orchestra and soloist" which made it "difficult to hear Dichter's cadenzas". I may be wrong, but off the top of my head I don't recall any cadenzas in the "Paganini Rhapsody", but that would be a spectacularly unbalanced sound for the orchestra to drown out the pianist when they're not even supposed to be playing.Fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02331644511088185408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3371351138596055444.post-51255500412380540862010-02-26T18:15:19.424-08:002010-02-26T18:15:19.424-08:00Stupid double post!Stupid double post!Gustavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05316458340368681169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3371351138596055444.post-82893320156256240352010-02-26T18:13:06.295-08:002010-02-26T18:13:06.295-08:00You very well may be correct, AnthonyS.

That fact that he phrases the comment as "this piece / was chosen" seems to imply that he doesn't really understand the commissioning process (since the composer was chosen, not the work). The "to what end?" comment seemed to me more about regional orchestras and new music in general and not solely regarding Schwantner. That is, from his lack of clarification, I feel rather free to speculate that he is implying that regional orchestras have little reason to play or commission newer works. <br /><br />He should have been a little more descriptive.<br /><br />Boooooo.AnthonyShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13162009600236566716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3371351138596055444.post-38578561745048660912010-02-26T07:10:27.352-08:002010-02-26T07:10:27.352-08:00I guess his ultimate point, although he doesn'...I guess his ultimate point, although he doesn't make it clearly at all, is that the Schwantner didn't feel like anything new which, for a project as ambitious as this one, may be disappointing.Gustavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05316458340368681169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3371351138596055444.post-84337966016762831542010-02-25T23:22:46.781-08:002010-02-25T23:22:46.781-08:00"...it was hard to fathom why this piece, as ..."...it was hard to fathom why this piece, as opposed to any other, was chosen for the Ford project."<br /><br />Couldn't one, obviously, say that about ANY piece?<br /><br />What a weird review.Sator Arepohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00006808744513156317noreply@blogger.com
