In the Thread: National Youth Orchestra of Venezuela in Boston!!!
Post Subject: Simon Bolivar in Boston.Posted by Romy the Cat on: 10/29/2007
In a few days Simon Bolivar’s National Youth Orchestra of Venezuela will be paling in Boston and I am kind of debating if I need to do. They have a program that I do not particularly care: Bartok’s Concerto for Orchestra, Bernstein’s Symphonic Dances from West Side Story and the selections of music from Latin America. I have to admit yesterday WGBH broadcasted the Bolivar leading Los Angeles Philharmonic with Yefim Bronfman playing the Rachmaninoff’s Third Concerto and Kodály’s “Dances of Galanta” and the Bartøk piece. The Rachmaninoff’s Third was less successful but the Bartok’s Concerto for Orchestra was surprisingly effective. Still, the Concerto for Orchestra, in my mind, is just a bizarre piece of music about nothing and I am not a big fun of it. So, I am wondering if I need to go to listen the Bolivar with his orchestra in the Symphony Hall.
