A delightful and inspired set of variations on this most variation-engendering of themes. It was a real treat to hear - and see - it performed, impeccably needless to say, by the FRSO. It's a great vehicle to highlight the excellence of the orchestra's various sections.
Wonderful, in every sense of the word. A work full of wit and imagination, and a work for an orchestra to truly show what they are made of. The performance was obviously thoroughly enjoyed by Estrada, as well as the orchestra members, as well as by the audience, and most definitely - as well as me !
Boris was a very excellent composer - original, without being atonal or needlessly dissonant. How do I know when a work is very good? When I want to listen to it again and again.
Es ist meine erste Gelegenheit, dieses interessante Werk zu hören. Sehr lebhafte und rhythmische Leistung voller Virtuosität aller Instrumente. Der bärtige Flötist mit Brille spielt besonders ausgezeichnet!
I like this work of Blacher, I like the orchestra, I like the conductor, but I don't understand this orchestral positioning: First violins together with contrabasses and celli, second violins far away turning to the scene side. When we open the partiture we can see the composer choice is very different. Why then?

Amazing performance. Especially Bravo! to The concertmaster. His solo part was outstanding!

Interesting.

du lourd
Nice but sometimes a bit too slow... and now, back to Fricsay!
Barber violinkonzert
Blacher is almost unknown in the UK. Shame on us
Blacher ist in Großbritannien fast unbekannt. Schande über uns..
