he Brahms Second Symphony was surprisingly convincing with reduced forces. Prokofiev’s ‘‘Classical’ Symphony was right at home.
Richard McKay , artistic director and conductor of the Dallas Chamber Symphony, turns to bow after the completion of Symphony No. 1 in D Major "Classical" by Sergei Prokofiev.We think of Brahms symphonies as fare for full orchestras — 80 or 90 players, with well-padded string sections.
Hearing the Brahms with these revised balances required some aural adjustment. And there were times when brasses could have been tamed just a little. But the music emerged with new freshness, new immediacy, even new intimacy. Pacing was flawless, lingering subtly on just the right upbeats. Phrases were warmly shaped and strategically directed. I’d quibble only with some overlong pauses in the middle movements.
