stirring performances marred by moments of hysteria and the odd dodgy accent In 1910 pragmatic Victoire (Sarah Tansey) and her fantasist brother Josaphat (Jeremy Crutchley) are contemplating a move to Montreal prompted by a dark secret surrounding the parentage of son Gabriel In the 1950s the cabin has become a holiday home for the next generation: Vic- Players pass their fizzical with skidding and skipping Orchestra of London St John Smith Square RICK JONES precise but unaggressive beat Siegfried Idyll was calmly shaped and played with a straight loving legato ignoring the pianissimo at the end Symphony No 4 The Italian found the orchestra at its solid professional best The saltarello was a racing thrill but it was the solemn hymn of the second movement that stamped itself most profoundly on the evening The encore Death of Melisande confirmed the mood beautifully Your 35p dear reader has not been wasted DEAR reader you paid for a concert last night The Orchestra of London which was giving

was honed with the wisdom of age and experience Marriage of Figaro overture fizzed expectantly The semiquaver triplets skidded like a maid on a shiny floor The stage was set The Romanian violinist Cristina Anghelescu played Violin Concerto with faster fingers than the orchestra possessed at first A sluggish slow movement was nonetheless rich with tone The finale skipped like an exuberant music student thrilled again by a first gig The conductor Benedict Gunner has a genial demeanour and a David Nolan was the London Philharmonic Orchestra's principal The Orchestra of the Royal Opera House
