Legendary Hollywood columnists Army Archerd blogs about Chancellor Mauceri and NCSA in Vienna, Tuesday, November 27, 2007

Excerpt of Detroit Symphony concert review from the Jan. 13, 2007, Detroit Free Press, by Mark Stryker:
"An exploration of the way in which composers frame and manipulate time, the program bristles with invention, connecting the dots between Richard Wagner, Maurice Ravel and contemporary voices like Philip Glass, Gyorgy Ligeti and Duke Ellington. The program also features tap dancer Savion Glover, the eighth wonder of the world, who solos during Ellington's ballet 'The River' with such a virtuoso command of syncopation that on Thursday he didn't so much stop time as stop the world."  Conducted by John Mauceri, the program included Wagner's Act 1 Prelude from "Das Rheingold"; Glass's "Suite from The Hours"; Ligeti's "Atmospheres" (1961), and  Ravel's "Bolero." Notes Stryker: "Mauceri led mostly confident performances of all of these works, and the projected video images of the orchestras that are part of the Classics Unmasked concept were more helpful than usual."
