Violinist Maxim Vengerov performs with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra and guest conductor Mark Wigglesworth at the Meyerson Symphony Center on Nov. 4, 2023.With the Dallas Opera, Dallas and Fort Worth symphony orchestras all opening Nov. 3, coverage had to be spread out.The DSO concert, under British guest conductor Mark Wigglesworth, was one of the orchestra’s most satisfying — and, when appropriate, thrilling — in recent memory.
Otherwise, as one, Vengerov and Wigglesworth both felt — and conveyed — the rise and fall of lines, the tightening and loosening of harmonic tensions. Lingering daringly before pivotal downbeats heightened rather than dissipated tension. Even as we stiffened in our seats anticipating that downbeat, we always knew where the music was going, and why.We’ve had some overwrought Brahms lately, but this felt true and right.
Violinist Maxim Vengerov acknowledges applause after his performance with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra and guest conductor Mark Wigglesworth at the Meyerson Symphony Center on Nov. 4, 2023.It’s hard to describe Saturday’s thrilling performance of the Sibelius without mixing metaphors. It had at times the whiff of fresh air and moist soil, at other times the feeling of hard, craggy edges of newly thrust mountains.
