Critical Review of a Performance by the Toronto Symphony Orchestra
This is a review of a classical concert performance and a critique of the programming of this concert by the Toronto Symphony Orchestra (February 16, 2002). This review indicates how the performance was characterized more by its diversity than by its stylistic or thematic unity. This review focuses on this aspect of the performance, and argues that while it is not essential to the success of a concert, the audience's understanding of the reasons behind the programming of a concert can contribute greatly to its success. 8 pgs. 3 sources.
