Philadelphia Orchestra at Carnegie Hall With Emil Sauer
The Philadelphia Orchestra conducted by Carl Pohlig performed at Carnegie Hall in New York with pianist Emil Sauer as soloist. The review notes strong ensemble effort and vigor but critiques tonal coarseness and dynamic excesses, praising Sauer’s brilliance yet calling the concerto shallow with four movements and strong arpeggio display. Sauer repeated the final movement due to audience appeal.
