This performance will broadcast on KUSC on Sunday, July 24 at 7 PM (PST).
Listen to Alan Chapman's preview on SoundCloud.
Music director Carl St.Clair conducted with violinist Philippe Quint, who also lead the Vivaldi.
Antonio Vivaldi: The Four Seasons, Op. 8
Richard Strauss: An Alpine Symphony, TrV 233, Op. 64
Assistant conductor Roger Kalia did the pre-concert lecture again, and interviewed Philippe Quint.
A student of Dorothy DeLay, Philippe shared some experiences about her teaching methods.
He said she was a great psychologist, and stayed very positive. For example, if she saw a problem with an intonation, she would ask "What is your concept of F#?". A sharp contrast from is experience in Russia, where there would be hollering, insulting, etc. Back there, he would hear stories of music flies out, the instrument flies out, and the student flies out. :)
Dorothy's students are also all unique, as she shared her knowledge without imposing her persona.
His performance was awesome, I haven't seen anybody play so happily since Itzhak Perlman!
