		It was a good move on the part of the Brighton Festival to secure such a fine orchestra as the Detroit Symphony for its opening concert at the weekend, just as it proved prudent to have taken the opportunity to hear the orchestra on the previous night as Birmingham's Symphony Hall.
		The Detroit Symphony Orchestra began its effective concert under Neeme Järvi in the Philharmonie with the Wild West ballet "Billy the Kid" of Aaron Copland, which is seldom to be heard in concert halls over here.
		Streamlined virtuosity pushed to the limits, such as the Chicago Symphony displayed here a short time ago, is not so much the hallmark of the orchestra (founded in 1914) from the "Automotive Capital of the World" (which displayed several of its top of the line products in the lobby of the Philharmonie!).

		Coupled with the inclusion of Bernstein’s early First Symphony this was a programme that also underlines Oramo’s commitment, following in the illustrious footsteps of Simon Rattle, to stimulating repertoire for his Symphony Hall audiences.
		The clear sense of satisfaction in the hall at the conclusion of the work spoke volumes for this performance.
		In conclusion a concert that was possibly as memorable for the inconsistencies in Job as it was for the fine first half performance of Bernstein’s "Jeremiah" although it is certainly to be hoped that Oramo and his orchestra continue to adopt the same spirit of programming in their forthcoming 2002 season.

	Guardian Unlimited Arts \| Arts critics \| RNO/Pletnev, Symphony Hall, Birmingham
		On the latest British tour by his Russian National Orchestra, he is on the podium for the same concerto, and at Symphony Hall he was conducting the accompaniment to Alexander Melnikov's performance.
		Technically his playing was outstanding too, just lacking a little in devilry and in sheer character; the slow movement was beautifully poised, for instance, but ruminative rather than poetic, though he went on to produce some perfectly centred quiet playing in the slow episode in the finale.
		It was strange to see Pletnev opting to conduct such a patently illustrative work rather than one of the meatier Shostakovich symphonies, though perhaps the shortcomings were emphasised so soon after Haitink's coruscating acccount of the Eighth with the Concertgebouw last weekend.

		Buried inside this concert was a nugget: Eisler's Kleine Sinfonie (or "Little Symphony").
		Every bar of this chamber symphony is memorable, from the lugubrious low trumpet and sombre strings of the opening, through compact variations embracing a sneery march theme, to ironically breezy clarinet and solo flute.
		There's a brilliantly squashed scherzo, with scowling brass offset by rippling percussion, plus duetting from clarinet and trumpet, wiped out by a querying mock-cadence.
