Review: Maestro Gianandrea Noseda and the National Symphony Orchestra resumed its “Beethoven & American Masters” series with powerful, rousing performances of Beethoven’s Seventh and Eighth symphonies.
Howard is correct, and his sentiments about Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony square neatly with those of Wagner, who famously dubbed it “the apotheosis of the dance.” Either works.
I’ve come to really enjoy Noseda’s willingness to play with volume — and I do mean “play” in the sense of using something to have fun with it. Some have confided to me an unease with the maestro’s charges through proverbial china shops — I received more than a few crumple-faced emails after Noseda’s Fifth. To me it just feels like he is matching Beethoven’s energy.
In his final work, Walker composed the Sinfonia as a protest against violence done to Black parishioners of Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church fatally shot by a white supremacist in Charleston, S.C., in 2015. The composer died in 2018 at the age of 96, a year before “Vision” was premiered by the Seattle Symphony Orchestra.But as this series has effectively shown in previous pairings of Beethoven and Walker, the two composers have much to talk about.
