ASO with American bent

Author: diz
Date: 2003-11-21 04:42

Aussies - tonight 8pm - Adelaide Symphony with a decidedly American flavour to its concert programming :

Vadim Gluzman, violin
Luke Dollman, conductor
Ives Three Places in New England: Orchestral Set No.1
Bernstein Serenade
Beethoven Symphony No.6 in F, op.68

(ABC Classic FM, of course)

Without music, the world would be grey, very grey.

Looks like it will sound very good. How did Beeth get in? Its one of my favs! Perhaps the next All-American can have Copland's Appalachian Spring {in your spring?} or his Promise of Living, the best? of "The Tender Land" , which the Mormon Tabernacle Orch played BEAUTIFULLY, recently. Don

Thanx, Mark, Don

It would be extremely unusual to have more than one American work programmed together in Australia. It is also difficult to have more than one Australian work in any given programme. Orchestras are in the business of selling tickets and in Europe, non European works don't sell tickets. There are some wonderful American works out there but the Europeans haven't heard, or heard OF, them. Stray too far from Appalachian Spring or West Side Story and the Europeans will stay away in droves.
