Esa-Pekka Salonen returns to conduct Philadelphia Orchestra after long absence (The Philadelphia Inquirer)

In his first Philadelphia Orchestra appearance in 26 years, Esa-Pekka Salonen
conducted exactly the sort of program Thursday at the Kimmel Center that one
most wants from this musical free thinker - in performances that exclaimed
(momentarily) that this music is the best in the world. And some of it was
music he wrote himself - the 2009 Violin Concerto that, typical of his
compositions, didn't challenge the comfort zone of any reasonably up-to-date
21st-century ears, but was so much itself that one strained to hear it through
any preexisting context. Ceaselessly inventive and with layer upon layer of
wit, the concerto begins with much postminimalist busy-ness - though such
passages are full of too many zigs and zags in the musical fine print to be
truly minimal. Strangely blended percussion effects involving harp and celesta
created sounds that shimmered decisively, and were unlike anything I'd heard.
The final movement is mesmerizing but most difficult to describe: The violin
soloist is like monologuist in the manner of Shostakovich or Schnittke (though
minus the moroseness), searching along uncertain avenues, suggesting a modern
Orpheus in the overworld.
