Last Saturday BSO under Finnish conductor Susanna Mälkki played a new work - Unsuk Chin’s cello concerto,  Alban Gerhardt played the lead. I do not know, folks. If this is the direction where “music went” then let call it a successful concerto. However, I made myself to listen after the Chin’s concerto the Chopin’s Sonata for cello and piano to assure my dilapidating sanity.  I can’t say Chin’s concerto was some kind of atonal avantgarde, it was not. Still, can they write a normal music with memorable melodies and non-fractured sound?
