	classical music - andante - toronto symphony teeters on the edge of ruin
		For Canadians, the news was both shocking and routine: the orchestra of the country's premier city will go belly-up if the musicians, board and what's left of management at the Toronto Symphony Orchestra don't agree on a restructuring plan by this Friday, 26 October.
		Crises in Canadian orchestras have become routine since the mid-1980s, when federal and provincial governments, which had historically been strong supporters of the country's arts organizations, cut back drastically on their financial assistance.
		In the press release announcing his resignation, Smith declared that "the internal culture of the [TSO] is probably beyond repair" — a reference, one assumes, to the chronic mistrust between the musicians and management and to a bloated board (about 60 people) whose members aren't even required to purchase season tickets.

		The Toronto Symphony has had more than its share of apparent zombies over the years, particularly in the string sections, but under Oundjian even some of the sitting dead are beginning to look re-energized.
		The strings are a symphony's backbone and his credentials as former first violinist of one of the world's foremost chamber ensembles, the Tokyo String Quartet, have given him the background and impetus to improve the string sound.
		Meanwhile, with sister orchestras in Calgary and Winnipeg in trouble, and others across the country barely holding their deficits at bay, the Canadian orchestral world is increasingly looking to Toronto as a model for recovery.

		TORONTO - There are only about 10 truly great violinists in the world, and Maxim Vengerov is one of them.
		But as a whole, the TSO was in sulk mode: Despite the fact that Venegerov was about to come on, there was zero excitement emanating from the stage during and after the Mendelssohn.
		Bravo to John Rudolph, whose soft snare drum was the palpitating heart of the final dance, and to the whole flute and piccolo section, who invoked the hauntingly erotic Greek flutes of Ravel's imagination.

		The late Richard S. Warren, archivist for the Toronto Symphony Orchestra for twenty-six years, was truly engaged in a labour of love, for the book contains an abundance of detail for which a music historian or serious enthusiast is bound to be grateful.
		Begins with the Oboe is a full history of the TSO's activities, its tours and performances outside of Canada, which have earned it a reputation for being a world-class orchestra, and more importantly, its manifold contributions to cultural life in Toronto, such as summer concerts at Ontario Place and concerts designed for school-age children.
		But mostly, this book is a tribute to a precious part of cultural life in Toronto and to the folks—from the women's committees, the board members, the managers, and musicians—who gave their years to the cause of keeping alive a symphony orchestra in Toronto.

		The playing is not entirely flawless but the orchestra’s commitment to their new chief is obvious.
		This is not Mendelssohn’s finest symphony (I don’t think it is the equal of its two immediate predecessors in the canon) but Ančerl makes a strong, positive case for it, thoroughly justifying the enthusiastic response from the audience.
		The Schumann symphony was recorded at performances given a few days earlier. Under Ančerl I find that the introduction to the first movement (CD 1, track 10) does not have quite the pent-up tension imparted by, say Günter Wand.
