We attended Seattle Symphony last night. Thomas May's review and Pendleton's photos accurately describe this interesting and well attended performance. We do not care for Shostakovich, especially large bombastic, and repetitive, orchestral works. Jim said the 5th symphony is a real showpiece for players, and the orchestra IS better than ever. Zhang's program notes about the orchestra's status indicate her pleasure and respect for the musicians here.
