 NHK Symphony Orchestra - 10 March 2002 - INKPOT
The NHK still enjoys the distinction of having every single one of its subscription concerts broadcast nationwide over television and radio, which can only make the rest of us look on in envy.
Thankfully, there was little damage here to the timbre of Min's Guarnerius filius Andrea from the hall's dampening field in the meditative moments, but the orchestral tuttis in the final movement was robbed of a great deal of energy and verve (not to mention wit) by this emulous sonic environment.
But on to the music itself, and the NHK was as good (at least) as its reputation promised.

 Saint Louis Symphony
Such a composition is Beethoven’s Third Symphony, the Sinfonia eroica, whose appearance in 1804 quite suddenly gave birth to a new musical genre, the expansive Romantic symphony that would so captivate composers throughout the nineteenth century and beyond.
Nowhere, even in his Fifth and Ninth Symphonies, was the composer more successful in welding a wide array of thematic ideas into a cohesive whole, in developing those ideas to fill a spacious sonic canvas, or in extracting from them an arresting musical drama.
If the symphony is really the musical portrait of a hero, its subject seems more likely to be the artist who conceived it.

 Saint Louis Symphony
Wilson conducted the Montreal Symphony in two different programs, returned to the Toronto Symphony, and made her debuts with the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra and the New Jersey Symphony.
The composer had, moreover, recently produced two monumental symphonies bound in spirit to his nation’s military struggle, and it may well be that he simply could not manage yet another heroic work at this time.
The symphony is laid out in five movements, the last three being connected to form a single span of music.

 Nippon Hosso Kyokai (NHK) Orchestra - 10 March 2002 - INKPOT
And the wind instruments were really really good, the horns which played confidently despite the frequent exposed and awkward parts, the offstage oboe and onstage clarinet duet in the second movements, and the irrepressibly sprightly take on the Idee Fixe by the combined winds in the last movement...
The truly most remarkable thing about their music making (beside battling the poor accoustics) was in how they manage to realise almost every single bar of the symphony to perfection with obvious dedication and effort.
My mouth was left open for much of the symphony, and the audience cannot wait for the symphony to end to burst out into clamorous applause.

 Ode To Joy: "An Die Freude"
The Japanese find the rich, changing emotion of the symphony to be a fitting symbol of life: a turbulent struggle ending in joy.
Since the Japanese (and much of Asia) celebrate New Year's Day as a major holiday, and are quite serious about the day marking the end of the old and the beginning of a new start, this is highly appropriate, and very Japanese, even if it was originally very German.
One of the major thrills of the season is to see the annual NHK Symphony performance of "The Ninth." The NHK Symphony is definitely world-class, so their superb work is no surprise.
