Virtuosity shines most brilliantly in a thoughtful weekend at the music festival
There's nothing like sheer virtuosity in instantly relatable music to liven up the proceedings. In the weekend's Benedict Music Tent highlights, saxophonist Steven Banks brought a high-voltage jolt to Friday's Chamber Symphony with a new, crowd-pleasing concerto written for him. Then on Sunday, violinist Gil Shaham and the Festival Orchestra reveled in Eric Korngold's ear-soothing, frankly Romantic concerto, which Jascha Heifetz debuted in 1947.
