Boston concert review of Nikisch led by Mendelssohn and Beethoven
A Boston Saturday concert under conductor Arthur Nikisch drew a larger audience and enthusiastic praise. Brahms Variations, Goltermann cello concerto with Anton Hekking, and Schumann Triumerei plus Fingal's Cave dominated a program noted for its new approach and patients with tempo. Critics praised Nikisch's interpretation of Mendelssohn and Beethoven, though some solos drew mixed reactions, and overall the orchestra delivered a refined, expressive performance. The piece on the stage was complemented by reflections on elevator reading rules and a tour through local shops featuring oriental carpets and confections, including a Vienna confectioner’s Eiffel Tower replica in green paste sugar.
