	INKPOT#76 CLASSICAL MUSIC REVIEWS: Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra - 26 May 1999
		Though the Hong Kong Philharmonic clearly showcased the ability of their individual sections to play with great precision and skill, I found that the blank picture they drew of Coriolan ("...a shattering piece, and it shows how Beethoven's power of expression was becoming ever more concentrated" - goes the notes) totally lacked any kick.
		Her tempo was very fast (and credit to the HKPO who followed her exactly); her phrasing is of the impulsively spurting-forward sort, intently and purposefully pushing forward the music.
		I may even venture to say that the orchestra was trying to imitate the grand tradition of Russian orchestras with their aggressive brass section.

		The ever-superb oboe section again showed the calibre of their playing in the third movement, full throated and romantic, yet tinged with a sadness that is so typical of Sibelius.
		The well-known passage for brass, trumpets blaring, was somewhat understated in this quiet approach to the symphony, but in the finale, the orchestra pulled together in a rousing climax.
