...gave a varied program of works ranging all the way from Weelkes to Hindemith. Demanding so much skill from the individual players, the orchestra sounded sour at times and showed a little disorganization in its first and most difficult concert of the season. Specifically, the Concerto Grosso in B minor was not marvelous...
