Violinist Randall Goosby joined in the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto.
and now Tchaikovsky. Goosby supplied the technical wizardry that’s pretty much a given with younger violin soloists these day. He tossed off the finale with particular panache, but also spun out satin-finished delicacies in the central Canzonetta. I wondered only if his lingering over introspective first movement episodes didn’t compromise essential coherence.
Violinist Randall Goosby performs with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra at the Meyerson Symphony Center in Dallas, Texas, on Friday, Jan. 27, 2023. Canellakis, herself an accomplished violinist, was a most sympathetic collaborator, as was the orchestra. Goosby rewarded a roaring ovation with Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson’s sassyCompleted in 1954, a decade after Bartók’s work of the same title, Lutoslawski’s Concerto for Orchestra takes up where its precursor leaves off.
Over the course of three movements, the music makes its way through gruff chuggings and jabs, dissonant pileups, delicate interplays, flitters and flutters and solemn quasi-chorales. The last movement Passacaglia is introduced by detached bass pluckings.It’s not music to leave you humming tunes, but it’s a virtuoso showpiece for orchestra. Canellakis and the DSO certainly lived up to its challenges, with finely focused tension even in the most hushed moments.
The DSO has had a succession of very fine assistant conductors. Friday’s concert certainly showed why Canellakis’ post-DSO career prospers. Repeat performances recommended.Repeats at 7:30 p.m. Saturday and 3 p.m. Sunday at Meyerson Symphony Center, 2301 Flora St., Dallas. $26 to $155. 214-849-4376,
