		Christoph Eschenbach took up the post of Principal Conductor of the Philadelphia Orchestra in September last year (he is just the seventh person to hold this post).
		This is indeed a difficult path to tread, and in his efforts towards clarity, Eschenbach lost sight of the overall picture.
		To begin with, and infinitely surprisingly, there were technical problems, most especially from the horns, with ragged entries from the third and fourth players in the first movement, not to mention the section’s initial, tentative entry.

	INKPOT :: The Philadelphia Orchestra - Christoph Eschenbach 2005 :: Jonanthan Rogers
		The weekend of concerts given by the Philadelphia Orchestra in Singapore’s Esplanade concert hall confirmed that the ensemble is one of the world’s greatest and that music director Christoph Eschenbach now belongs in the elite group of conductors, to rank alongside superstars such as Abbado, Muti and Rattle.
		I realized then as I studied the bizarre freak show of his facial mannerisms why his recorded performances are so curiously unaffecting despite the individuality of the performances, and that of course is that he’s not there to provide the extraordinary visuals.
		Eschenbach should have talked Lang Lang out of the ludicrously slow pace the pianist chose for the second movement, which was devoid of forward momentum although there were moments of poetry and delicacy of tone.

	PlaybillArts: Features: New Directions
		Christoph Eschenbach, who succeeded Wolfgang Sawallisch at the helm of The Philadelphia Orchestra in September, says modestly that he "arrived at a beneficial moment," but the fact is that he contributed toward that moment in a very real way.
		While Eschenbach and the Philadelphians are already well acquainted--he has conducted the Orchestra many times as a guest--his new role as music director will entail changes, some of which he is quite ready to spell out, without being in the least dogmatic.
		The German-born Eschenbach, who just turned 64, can look back on a massive discography, a solid portion of it made during his career as an internationally acclaimed pianist, and the rest reflecting his work with a variety of orchestras, including the Houston Symphony, of which he was music director for 11 years.

		Eschenbach -- petite and trim, stylishly bald, dressed in a sleek fl Nehru suit -- was adorable, and musically he can be far more than that.
		Eschenbach may have dramatized the music he led, the Brahms Double Concerto and the Dvorak "New World" symphony; I thought he might have all too often flailed, trying to control too much and making it hard for the orchestra to settle into any rhythmic groove.

		There were insecurities in the brass playing (although not where you would have expected them – the horn solo in the final movement was majestically played, for example) and occasionally the woodwind were louder than one would have wished but the strings had considerable beauty of tone throughout, notably in the basses and cellos.
		Eschenbach himself remains, as ever, the most selfless of conductors – this was a performance pretty much ‘as written’.
		Moments of difficulty for conductors, such as the opening timpani strokes, were here perfectly judged and timed, the balance in the final movement’s woodwind and horn lines were transparent and the coda of the symphony had a dramatic intensity, which it rarely does.

		Eschenbach’s Bartók Concerto was, as one might have predicted, a no-holds-barred affair, richly toned throughout its kaleidoscopically varied textures, and projected with tingling rhythmic impulse.
		Experience suggests that the public in Japan is likely to be quieter; but it is still good, in a general context that preserves the excitement factor inseparable from live recording, to have that safety net ready in case of need.

		The most delectable of the four orchestral programs in Christoph Eschenbach’s month-long Late Great Works festival, it framed Strauss’ Oboe Concerto and Metamorphosen between Mozart’s Zauberflöte overture and his last piano concerto, in B-flat major, K. Nor did the event in any way fall short of what the bill promised.
		It was evident at once in the overture that the orchestra had already settled down well in Eschenbach’s new – that is, classic–seating arrangement, with first and second violins ranged to his left and right, and the basses over on the left behind the cellos.
		Though without any hint of the cloying over-ripeness in which Eugene Ormandy, for half a century, used to bedizen his Mozart, the tutti tone was rich, warm, and solid, while the offbeat accents in the fugato statement of the main Allegro theme were at once lithely and unexaggeratedly pointed.

	Penn Current \| Eschenbach: Embrace music, life
		Less than five minutes into Christoph Eschenbach’s Dec. 6 talk at the Annenberg Center there was barely a dry eye in the house.
		As he explained to an audience brought together by Penn’s French Institute, Eschenbach was orphaned (by childbirth and war) as a young boy in 1940s Germany.
		Mahler, said Eschenbach, is a good entry point to classical music for young people because the composer “deals with the expression of emotion in a deep way” that appeals to young souls not yet “shadowed by the layers of routine life.”

		I would never have associated Eschenbach with this music—but then, he has come a long way since I first encountered him as a stern-looking piano prodigy who many years ago recorded the complete Mozart sonatas for Deutsche Grammophon.
