Carnegie Thrills CSO Despite Chills
Janelle Gelfand files this review of the Cincinnati Symphony at Carnegie Hall from somewhere in the snowy terrain of midtown Manhattan: Carnegie Thrills CSO Despite Chills, Cincinnati Enquirer (1/25/05).
She writes: "Incredibly, the 2,804-seat Carnegie Hall was nearly filled with an enthusiastic crowd of intrepid New Yorkers, who braved frigid temperatures and slushy sidewalks, many of whom stood and cheered at the conclusion of Sibelius' great Symphony No. 5 in E-flat Major. When music director Paavo Jarvi provided a glowing encore, Sibelius' Valse triste, the hall was as quiet as I've ever heard it.
"Nationally, there's a great deal of interest in Jarvi and his work in Cincinnati; no fewer than 15 music writers attended this concert."
