I took a student group to NYC this past week for a musical festival competition. As part of the trip we attended a performance at Lincoln Center of “The Great Symphony” of Schubert.
All of us were in awe.
Musical vision: check
Phrasing: check
Articulations: check
Dynamics: check
Balance: check
Tempi: check
Note releases: check
It was a revelation to the students.
From the New York Times review
“Mr. Muti’s conception of Schubert’s Ninth Symphony was grand but never ponderous or overinflated. The performance was almost surprisingly propulsive; jollity outweighed pensiveness by a considerable margin…”
