Some thoughts on the recent Seattle Symphony program featuring music by Nokuthula Ngwenyama, Schumann, and Beethoven, now posted on Classical Voice North America:
SEATTLE — The Seattle Symphony’s subscription program on Feb. 20 found the orchestra in leaner formation than usual. About half the musicians were on duty across town preparing for Seattle Opera’s opening of Fellow Travelers by Gregory Spears. That left a more compact ensemble onstage at Benaroya Hall, lending the performance a more exposed, chamber-like profile.
