Our guest mystery critic attended the Houston Symphony’s third and final installment in a series of Brahms concerts. This Sunday
Matinee featured the Second Piano Concerto in B-flat major and the Third
Symphony in F major, with Jonathan Biss at the piano and conductor John Storgårds
at the podium.
Making allowances for the matinee
sluggishness, it was still possible to tell something of the performers,
including Storgårds. Perhaps most important to the task of conducting, our
critic believes that this program exhibited Storgårds’ excellent sense of
rhythm and clear understanding of the architecture of the two pieces on the program.
Of course, he had tremendous help from an orchestra full of great musicians.
