Nothing could have been further from the truth. After intermission Tim Fain returned to play Glass\u2019 second concerto.\u00a0 The composer\u2019s Violin Concerto No. 1 was a landmark work, the second is its equal, while very different in style\u2014it doesn\u2019t sound like the <em>Four Seasons<\/em>, but it does vary solo cadenzas with ensemble\/soloist movements in a way that is something of a cousin to the baroque concerto. Glass\u2019s writing for the solo part has a freedom found infrequently in his catalogue. The solo part also has an explicit romantic expression, so different than the emotions that most of Glass\u2019 music keeps just under the surface.<\/p>\n<p>With a big, beautiful sound\u2014both sweet and somber\u2014that was set in relief by the smaller sized orchestra, Fain played it like it was indeed one of the great romantic era concertos. He is a frequent Glass collaborator and has the technique to handle the music\u2019s considerable challenges. What imprinted itself on the memory, though, was his great lyricism, the exciting weight of expression, and the human ebb and flow of emotions.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/newyorkclassicalreview.com\/2017\/12\/a-glass-inspired-concerto-for-human-that-plays-itself-at-aco-program\/\">See the full review<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A composer plays herself in Glass-inspired concerto for human at ACO program &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; By George Grella There were a lot of things going on at the American Composers Orchestra\u2019s Friday night concert in Zankel Hall\u2014different stories and different musical ideas coming together to celebrate\u2014well, many things.
