This would have sent the audience home in an upbeat mood. Fiesta sent the audience home in a chaotic, frenzied mood. I would have liked to see more pieces like Illapa that evoked the desired imagery.
The pace of the music added variety and interesting, beginning with the slow rhythm of El condor pasa, then picking up the pace with Coleccion de Musica virreinal. Once again slowing the pace with Illapa and finally ending with the frenzied Fiesta. It was good in the way the music picked you up and then put you down again. The images in one's mind continually shifted, as did one's mood during the concert. This was a truly enjoyable evening, as an excellent way to let the mind relax from the hectic pace. I enjoyed a majority of the music pieces. I even found those that I liked the least to be interesting....
The musical experience was not what I expected. The concert is not enjoyed with only one's ears; it is a trip of he mind and a truly emotional experience.
Overall, I feel that this concert was excellent and that the Chicago Symphony Orchestra rose to the challenges that the musical selection presented. This concert was like many other concerts that I have attended, but with a different theme than many. This was an enjoyable experience and I would enjoy attending other performances of this type. I thought that the performance was rather edgy, compared to the usual classical faire that includes Mozart, Bach, or Tchaikovsky. It was a refreshing break from the normal and I hope to see more like this from the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. I will definitely go to another concert at Symphony Center.

Even now music like Beethoven's seems elitist. Unlike a punk rock show, a classical music concert is attended by well-heeled individuals: people who dress up in gowns and suits and who leave their car at valet parking. The culture that surrounds classical music today is not much different than it was in Beethoven's time. In the nineteenth century, music like Beethoven's was appreciated largely by the burgeoning bourgeoisie: the

Apparantely, Haydn made a huge amount of money on this piece, causing him to comment, "a thing possible only in England." The Vivaldi Concerto, it turns out, can be played as a Lute or Guitar Concerto, with the lute being a bit more popular in Court at the time. However, because the two have small discrepencies in the way they are strung, sometimes the rhythm must be changed a
Concert Review The type and program of events was Lang, the pianist, who was performing live at Carnegie Hall, Chicago on Sunday, April 04, 2004 at 3:00 PM. The only performer was that of Lang at his piano. Lang's program began with Schumann's "Abegg Variations." This resulted in the performance commencing with a rather somber note, in contrast to the following Baroque Haydn's more bracing "Sonata in C Major." The latter
