He observed all of the symphony's repeats. staflT Those who heard the Vienna Philharmonic perform at Symphony Hall Feb. 23 probably ttiD are wondering whether what they heard was real or imagined. Led by Leonard Bernstein, the Vienna Philhamonic confirmed its reputation as one of the greatest orchestras in the world. The string sound was thickly textured richer and fuller than any other orchestra I've heard. The brass sound, dark and recessed, was without the slightest hint of edge or strain. Unlike the great American orchestras that excite the listener with their precision and brilliance, the Vienna Philharmonic relaxed listeners with its subdued warmth. To create music that is spontaneous, an orchestra has to enjoy its conductor. It is obvious the Vienna Philharmonic loves Leonard Bernstein. The musicians were responsive to his demands, sensitive to his interpretation. Bernstein's interpretations of Mozart's Symphony No. 40, and Mahler's Fourth Symphony were expressive. The orchestra beautifully created Bernstein's personal vision of Mahler and Mozart and communicated it to the audience. The evening began with Mozart's Symphony No. 40. Bernstein's performance of each of the four movements was controlled, relaxed and measured. Balances were perfect. Every part of the orchestra could be heard in relation to the other sections. At times, Bernstein's slow tempos killed the tension, especially in the symphony's brisk third movement Menuetto: AlUgretto-Triwhich under Bernstein was ponderous and heavy. However, Bernstein's o, Bernstein's performance of Mahler's Fourth Symphony was overwhelming. The Mahler Fourth is perhaps the most accessible of Mahler's 10 great symphonies. Its mood is As in all of Mahler's optimistic and is dealt death with, but this time as symphonies, a friendly deliverer, not as a sinister opponent. life-lovi- dc i..,t 3- '1 a Ci Czzti fcj tia cna aaottxr silly Ut aarj ia thcertad it is trt cx HzCatzrj CxkH tt tjTizt Czx rzZy uy oadi af trt-.'r- - ta ci. ng. The symphony is essentially a child's idea of paradise, and for one hour I felt as though I was somewhere other than on this earth; a place I enjoyed being. Bernstein has said that when he conducts Mahler, he becomes Mahler. I believe him. He The last two movements of Mahler's Fourth are among the most beautiful of the composer's creations. The third movement: Ruheroll, opens with pizzicato basses, after which the main melody is introduced. The melody is presented in several guises including a waltz and folk dance. Bernstein allowed the music to flow forth in a serene and calming manner. The last movement: Sehr Behaglich, is scored for orchestra and soprano. The mood throughout is cheerful, and Bernstein's performance was gentle and nostalgic.
