“He showed a tendency toward clear textures and fine details, apparent from the beginning in the terse, witty opener, Sergei Prokofiev’s Suite from “The Love for Three Oranges.” The piece’s short, mostly bouncy episodes rang throughout the orchestra with tight, springy energy and bright color.  Fischer also communicated with elegance and precision on the podium, and his evident rapport with the players, not to mention the obvious good results, amply suggested that rehearsals went well.

After intermission came Tchaikovsky’s Fourth Symphony, in a classically-tinged reading full of strong playing from throughout the ensemble and refreshingly free of bombast.”
