California conductor Michael Tilson Thomas and star pianist Daniil Trifonov join with the Los Angeles Philharmonic for some Aaron Copland Americana and Russian treats.
Michael Tilson Thomas is laying down his baton in San Francisco next June after 25 seasons on the job, and in the process, he has been stepping up his activities in his old hometown, Los Angeles.
If the Kennedy Center ceremonies amounted to a late-career culmination of sorts for MTT, Copland’s Symphony No. 3 also was a culmination on several levels. It was 1946. America had just “broken the backses of the Axis,” as they said then, standing triumphant as the leading world power. The piece reflects the self-confidence in the air, a native-born composer trying to make a Big Statement in a distinctly European medium with a distinctly American language.
The hot Russian pianist Daniil Trifonov and MTT were a compatible team in Rachmaninoff’s underperformed Piano Concerto No. 4 in San Francisco in September, but for the audience downstate, they trotted out the Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No. 1. Fortunately, there was nothing routine about the performance.
