	Handbook of Texas Online:
		Orchestras connected with German Sängerfeste from 1885 to 1913, a local Symphony Club by 1902, and a visit by Modeste Altschuler's Russian Symphony Orchestra in the 1912-13 season whetted local appetites for a permanent ensemble.
		The orchestra at this time was hampered by the unevenness of talent among its members, some of whom were amateurs, and the poor quality of some of the instruments, which resulted from the orchestra's low budget.
		In the spring of 1936 the symphony society amended its charter and became officially the Houston Symphony Society.

	Christopher Rouse - Composer - Symphony No. 2
		I completed physical work on my Symphony No. 1 two years later, and it was premiered in January 1988 by the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, for whom it was written, under the direction of David Zinman.
		However, it was not until some time later that the Houston Symphony Orchestra commissioned its successor, which was finally set down in full on paper by July 15, 1994.
		As a result, the arch-like form of the symphony brings the work to a close at virtually the same structural point at which it began, but the conclusion's emotional world is light years away from that at the beginning.

	Lucerne Festival
		The strings were partly opposed to the rest of the orchestra, the polyphony was entertaining, but, overall, the composition is quite traditional in the sense that it could have been written at the beginning of the 20th Century.
		The orchestra had no difficulty in musically illustrating the warmth, romantic and dramatic story of a princess who at first takes a carved wooden puppet for real and prefers it to the prince in flesh and blood who had made it.
		Not only the orchestra's rendering of dramatic, tragic-comic effects, irony and madness, but also Quixote's return to clear conscience and the calm and peace of his last days before his death were convincing.

		But give credit where all the credit is due: Stokowski extracts a deeply felt performance from the Houston Symphony Orchestra that catches all the nuances of the slow passages of each movement.
		Some of Shostakovich symphonies were written following orthodox Communist program lines, sometimes sincerely so (as in the early 2nd) but later just to give something enjoyable to the regime, trying to not attract the very dangerous attention of the Party's cultural guardians.
		This symphony is very exciting and rich in thematic ideas and virile in sheer energy, its formal construction and colorful scoring allows and demands too a ranked conductor to win the numerous challenges in dynamics and rhythmic tension ; the sforzandos and fevered attacks result in a very complicated puzzle for any competent director.
