		Cultural diversity, the subject of an Association of British Orchestras conference last year, is currently a high-profile issue for the arts in general, but particularly for orchestras which are seeing a decline in their traditional white and middle-aged-to-elderly audience.
		Sarah Gee emphasises that the Harmony project is a genuine CBSO initiative and not an exercise in box-ticking in response to pressure from funders.

		The lush acoustics of Symphony Hall, as fine as they are, did not always help the players in the first movement, Mongrel Airs, where every instrumental line has an equally crucial part to play.
		Adams drew his inspiration for this work from the famous roadrunner cartoons and the furious pace of the final movement was captured with real energy by the players, as fragmented echoes of Copland, Bernstein and Stravinsky seemed to fly around in the tornado.
		Charm is, perhaps unexpectedly for Ives, a word that kept coming back to me during this performance, for there is an undoubted charm in both the melodies themselves and the way in which Ives weaves them into his tapestry.

		There is a truly magical hush that descends on the orchestra as the animal's listen to man's romantic posthorn intrusion and Rattle wisely and uniquely recognises that the accelerando at the end is written into the music and does not need artificial help.
		The last two pages of the symphony do not resort to the usual vulgar and exaggerated ritardando - only the very final note is sustained to the length befitting the conclusion of such a huge symphony.

		It was unfortunate that following the dance, for which suitably subtle and highly effective lighting was used, the Symphony Hall staff chose not to raise the house lights, this despite the fact that the stage was being reset for the music to follow.
		There was just the occasional moment when Padmore seemed to be straining against the CBSO strings but the pristine clarity of his diction was equalled by the sensitivity of the players.
		For their part, the three singers were spotlighted in their positions to the side of the stage whilst the dancers of sampad took centre stage, beautifully presented in traditional dress.

	BBC - Berkshire - Entertainment - Review: City Of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra
		It seems the City Of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra had to draft in some extra players to handle the size demands imposed by Mahler's Sixth Symphony because there were certainly more musicians on the stage than there are listed in the programme – most notably a couple of extra percussionists and an additional harpist.
		And this is the overwhelming experience and message of the rest of the symphony, that fate is great and vast and the individual, no matter the brief happinesses he finds, the moments in the sun, will be swamped, will be overrun by powers outside his ken.
		It is a long symphony, but satisfying, especially in the final moments where it, like the listener, becomes exhausted, trails off, seemingly inconclusively until with one final cry against everything – a last hand reaching for the sky, perhaps – it ceases.

		The City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra under Sir Simon Rattle became renowned for their vibrant advocacy of 20th-century music, and since 1999 under Rattle's successor, the Finn Sakari Oramo, the band has gone from strength to strength.
		Certainly, of all Sibelius's symphonies, none are more 'Finnish' - in the sense that they evoke the stark beauty of its landscapes.
		That is one among several unusual characteristics of this fine symphony, whose dramatic ending - prodding chords separated by long silences - is unique in orchestral literature.

		From the first bars of the orchestra’s entrance the piano was all but lost beneath their admirable but firm tread, a problem that was occasionally evident later in the movement also.
		Perhaps the orchestra felt it too, for there were just a couple of moments during the course of the first movement where soloist, conductor and orchestra were not quite of the same mind.
		Not surprisingly, the CBSO brass, appropriately swelled for the occasion, responded with resplendent sounds, contributing to a riotous conclusion.

		Rattle, who is credited with helping to put Birmingham on the world's cultural map, is stepping down from his role as Music Director of the city's symphony orchestra.
		It is almost impossible to underestimate Sir Simon's influence on the Midland's city, as it has struggled to shed its image as a cultural desert; a grimy centre for heavy industry.
		It was to his credit and Birmingham's pride that London critics would flood to the "second city", seeking the inspiration they could not find in the capital.

		The Walton 'Symphony no. 1' presented here is not a new recording--although it is newly remastered for this release--but makes an excellent companion for 'Belshazzar's Feast.' Rattle and the CBSO have a firm grasp on the symphony's vast, filmic qualities; they negotiate its jazzy syncopation and long, lyrical melodies with ease.
