Extractions: Internationally Renowned Violinist joins DSSO Music Director/ Conductor Markand Thakar for the first stop on his Grand Tour of the world s greatest music. The Duluth Superior Symphony Orchestra ushers in its 71st season of music-making with its first stop on Markand's Grand Tour, Saturday evening, September 21, at 8:00 pm at the DECC Auditorium. This opening gala concert features a program from the great tradition of Russian classical composers: Tchaikovsky, Stravinsky and Kabalevsky. Music Director Markand Thakar, beginning his second season with the DSSO, will conduct the Symphony in Kabalevsky's Overture to Colas Breugnon, Stravinsky's Petrushka and Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto with internationally-known guest artist, violinist Anne Akiko Meyers. Anne Akiko Meyers The Kabalevsky overture, with its brilliant and jaunty themes, will open the program. In contrast is the evenings second work featuring the tuneful ballet music of Stravinsky's Petrushka a fanciful tragedy set as a humorous love triangle between three puppets. The concert closes with the monumental Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto. While now accepted as one of the standards of the violin and classical music repertoire, Tchaikovsky's concerto, when written, was regarded as so exceedingly difficult that it was rejected as being unplayable. However, in the intervening years, it has become an audience favorite and is often played for grand occasions. Itzhak Perlman played this concerto at the very first DSSO subscription concert held at the DECC in 1966.

It took far too long to bring back this dazzling artist, but on Thursday, she made an impressive debut with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra in Music Hall. Her vehicle was Prokofiev's Violin Concerto No. 1, a work that is as dreamlike and Impressionistic as Prokofiev's Second Concerto is full-blooded. What she brought to it was vivid imagination, infusing the concerto's meandering themes with personality and stunning finesse. Paavo Jarvi's program, which included ballet suites by Prokofiev and Ravel, was all about subtlety and orchestral color. No doubt some of the kinks in Prokofiev's

"The amount of time spent sitting on planes - I'm waiting, waiting, waiting to just play for half an hour. You've got to keep your body in motion. It helps with jet lag, stamina and stress. The violin is so incredibly, I think, abnormal." IF YO GO

Extractions: C Lété C Markevitch Strad., A. Remarks: On his Strad Markevitch says: 'I performed all the Bach suites on it in Carnegie Hall. However, I sold it in 1972. It was painful to do because I would have liked to have kept it in the family, but I wasn't happy with it. I don't like Strads for the simple reason that they always have a "Strad" sound. I prefer to create my own sound. I play a French cello now, a Lété from 1839, a docile instrument that sounds well wherever I play. Teachers:

Extractions: Nor could the featured soloist for the Barber concerto, violinist Anne Akiko Meyers, be more perfectly matched to the serious tasks set for that evening. She and Meier are as close to one another in their affinity for the sad grandeur of 20th-century American music as they are in name. Meyers has spent years sportingly diving into the spit-warm-from-overuse pools of Mozart and Mendelssohn, but the bracing waters of modernity offer her a much more sympathetic element. She has been associated with the Barber concerto since she was 18 years old, and by now can lay as solid a claim to its restless, lush soundscape as any violinist alive.

The Noise Rating Index is a partially-objective measurement of pager and handphone blasts, 9pm and 10pm watch beeps, coughing-during-the-pianissimo-bits, intra-audience conversation and other mind-bogglingly inept noises emitted in the concert hall during actual performance of music. It is measured on a scale of to 5, in increasing annoyance. This review has been kindly sponsored by the Singapore Symphonia Co.
