MANAGEMENT
The concert held on Wednesday 15 by the BBC Concert Orchestra, with Keith Lockhart on the podium and Charlie Albright at the
piano, was arguably the best season of Knight Masterworks series Adrienne Arsht Center. The combination of musical excellence
with a program for everyone tends to lead to success, the unforgettable enjoyment, Ovation, and tonight was no exception. The
audience clapped and cheered up. A well-deserved recognition of excellence and brilliant end of season despite some details such as
the defective amplification, which prevented understand what the director said when he took the microphone.
The night began with two very nice English and orchestral works, to start preparing the public to what would come next. The Wasps
Overture, Vaughan Williams, has the funny touch to imitate the buzzing of bees on the ropes, while the second work, Rhapsody for
Orchestra A Shropshire Lad, Butterworth, permeated the atmosphere with its bucolic atmosphere.
But the great attraction of the evening was undoubtedly the monumental and devilishly difficult Concert # 2, in F major, op. 102,
Shostakovich, in which Albright gave a masterclass memory playing this monstrosity. Loaded with volleys of superfast explosive
chords and passages, the Andante, in the middle of the work, requiring instead a control and nerves of steel also able to express the
delicacy of an ineffable longing between two effervescence of virtuous speed. To say that the young soloist is great as is commonplace,
but in case there certainly before the final ovation, offered improvise on four notes he dictated random from the audience ... There
are no words to describe what he did with that " forced foot ". A single interpreter and, moreover, dressed impeccably and
ultramodern elegance. His white jacket had no buttons, pockets and flap.
The second part of the evening was the wonderful, once-popular Symphony no. 8 in G major, Dvorak, full of beautiful themes that
were once very popular. The orchestra could shine solo demonstrating its excellence and Lockhart with his hands seemed to be
taking the music from the instruments, and sometimes his chest, his soul.
Standing around the world before the closing stages with its glorious trumpets. The encore was inevitable again an English touch, the
final two movements known Capriol Suite, Warlock. Unforgettable. •
