Strauss’s “Don Quixote.” “The evening began with a glittering account of Strauss’s tone poem Don Quixote: The Philharmonic’s Carter Brey played the extensive cello solo magnificently, and Cynthia Phelps excelled in the solo viola passages.” — The New York Times And the performance of Bernstein’s Symphony No. 3, “Kaddish” that calls for huge forces, mixed-chorus, children’s chorus, a soprano, and a Speaker was praised as “A gripping performance” by the New York Times.
