U.S. premiere of Colasanti's Time's Cruel Hand paired with 1888 version of Bruckner's Symphony No. 7
together on the same program in Mandel Concert Hall at Severance Music Center on Thursday, February 13. Fabio Luisi, music director of the Dallas Symphony, led resplendent performances of both works.
Tim Mead was the expressive soloist, whose rich, clear voice easily rose above string tremolos, bass drum, and tam-tam in “Time Will Come.” His lovely, lyrical lines emerged out of clouds of orchestral color, and his impressive vocal technique served him well where Colasanti wrote long high notes with decrescendos.
Conducting bare-handed, Luisi drew a rich, well-blended sound from the ensemble. The brass was especially powerful without ever becoming overbearing. Subtle tempo and mood shifts along with sudden changes of themes were full of color and played with rhythmic precision. It’s worth remembering that Bruckner was an accomplished organist whose orchestral works are reminiscent of free improvisations.
