Martinon at Tanglewood Opens Sixth Berkshire Festival
The Sixth Berkshire Festival weekend opened with Jean Martinon directing the Chicago Symphony as guest conductor. His program spanned early 20th century French works and early 19th century German pieces, with a mixed reception as the performance progressed from a slow Der Freischutz overture to a vigorous La Mer finale. The Boston Symphony Orchestra delivered notable color in the Ravel Le Tombeau de Couperin and a strong finale, while the audience of 5,328 showed peak enthusiasm for the La Mer.
