THe first half was Stravinsky with one-man-diologue in between orchestra, telling the story of the piece. Really enjoyed this, and the maestro was wonderful! We then enjoyed even more the second half of the show, in which the Pacific Orchestra played Shubert, my favorit composer.Written on Feb 27 2009
Great and esteemed talent and lovely music. We will be back!

More Information About Pacific Chamber Symphony: Schubert and Stravinsky
Description
Schubert’s combination of clarinet, bassoon and horn with strings is filled with gorgeous melodies that only a great lieder composer could accomplish. Stravinsky takes members from each family of the orchestra to create everything from virtuoso violin passages to sounds of a band to chorales to a rag-time dance. Complete with narration ,Stravinsky tells a story of a soldier’s battle with the devil.
According to Maestro Lawrence Kohl, “Building upon Mozart and Beethoven, Schubert extended the classical format exploring romantic sensuality with spinning melodic lines that speak to the heart. Stravinsky returned to the classical ideals after rejecting the extreme romanticism of Mahler and Buckner. In the Soldier’s Tale Stravinsky adopts a neo-classical approach complete with abundant irony expressed through rhythms, harmonies, and story line. This will be an eye opening look at these two great composers. Definitely a ‘wow’ experience!”
