“It was in “Petrushka,” however, where Fischer really went to town showing off the orchestra’s robust strings, robust brass, robust percussion and startlingly robust winds… Fischer has had a great success in Salt Lake City at least in part through extravagance. He just recorded Mahler’s monumental Eighth Symphony with his Utah Symphony, and his “Petrushka” with the RPO was a bigger-than-life account of the puppet who comes to life and falls in love… the performance was a blast. And a blast is just what the Royal Philharmonic needs.”
