 classical music - andante - thank you, kurt masur!
Masur seemed almost too polite about it all at first, keeping the brass a little subdued in their first wail of that main theme, but then it became clear that he was marshaling those forces, building the intensity.
One of Masur's more subtle talents is his ability to match dynamics around the orchestra, so that a single clarinet can answer the first violins without a jarring drop in volume.
Crisp tempos in the trio section of the third movement and a sense of the dance in the fourth rounded the emotional sweep of the work: it's peasant music mocking royalty by shrouding itself in royal robes, and this is behind its never-ending appeal.

Masur is unfortunately more subdued than some of the wildly surreal pulp stories of a previous era, however: Chandleresque traditions of a realistic depiction of "mean streets" have unfortunately descended over the post war mystery story like a shroud.
Masur also has a certain middle class orientation which is antithetical to the social alienation of the Chandler school of p.i.'s.
Masur's attitude is in fact very close to the 1950's American pride in the nation's growing prosperity and increasingly middle class status.

 National Review: Mere Excellence - unfairly-maligned conductor Kurt Masur to leave New York Philharmonic
Last month, Kurt Masur finished his second-to-the-last season with the New York Philharmonic; by this time next year, he will be gone-and that's a shame.
One forgets how bad the Philharmonic really was when Masur came to town; this forgetting, moreover, is part of the general ingratitude where this conductor is concerned.
The very greatest rap against Kurt Masur is that he has not programmed enough contemporary music, that he is wedded to the standard works of the Central European repertory.
