		The precise and magnetic conductor leads two world premieres (by Joseph Schwantner and Michael Abels) alongside an orchestral staple (Tchaikovsky's Fourth Symphony).
		Like a good espresso after a filling meal, Michael Abels' Tribute, a work commissioned by the National Symphony, capped off the evening with just the right amount of warmth and zest.
		The work employed some unusual percussion sounds that initially caused the audience to titter, but the pastoral feel and the gentle concluding passage for solo violin ultimately left one in a contemplative mood.

		My favorites are the Abels tone poem, which presents both sides of global warming, and the Baker cello concerto, ingeniously scored, using exotic percussion such as wind chimes and a full orchestra (with no cello section).
		The recorded sound is a bit dry, which seems to fit both the music and the sound of this virtuoso, moderately sized ensemble.
		Listeners can hear evidence of their past successes on cuts like the wonderfully dramatic "Yuki Song," the desperate "Will You Be Ready," and the forcefully catchy "Dignity." However, the majority of songs go nowhere slowly, or sound like a five-minute gimmick with no soul.
