A music review by Steve Smith
Steve Smith reviews a oncert by the Julliard Orchestra at Avery Fisher Hall this previous Monday night.
The title of this review sets the tone for the piece. The vivid images of seas tossing and storms raging brings up thoughts of drama in nature that is reflected in the music that Smith hears.
From the very beginning life of the review, Smith praises the performance as being one that “far surpasses expectations.” His tone remains positive and very complimentative throughout the review.
He gives evidence to his praise by informing the audience of the usual proficiency of Julliard performances then highlighting this particular performance and describing it. He uses naturalistic examples again “The electricity Mr. Valliaume mustered in Berlioz’s ‘Royal Hunt and Storm’ from ‘Les Troyens,’ was all the more impressive for the control with which he wielded it.”
From this review, it is obvious that Smith would freely recommend this performance as being an exciting and brilliant presentation of the music.
