Story summary
  • The New York Philharmonic presented two contrasting programs under Mirga Grazinyte-Tyla.
  • The first program featured Vaughan Williams, John Williams, and Weinberg as a powerful exploration of time.
  • Grazinyte-Tyla's conducting produced a free and airy sound throughout the first program.
  • The second program pairing Elgar and Schumann failed to create a cohesive experience, with Cynthia Phelps's viola solos providing emotive moments.
  • John Williams's new piano concerto evokes nostalgia and lacks spontaneity.
