...everyone was crazy about the Crash win. During the acceptance speech, musical director Bill Conti seemed to be indicating the vexation of a minority in the room when he brought up the orchestra volume before Haggis could say his piece. (This year, the orchestra played softly through each of the spoken thank-you speeches, making the winners? comments sound like song cues in an old musical.) But Haggis had been on stage earlier, as a Screenplay winner. Besides, his victory was unique, at least to lovers of Oscar trivia. He became the first person to have written two consecutive Best...
...five-centimeter-thick bars on all the windows. And it's not the show in the West End.

Under the creative guidance of Music Director Akiko Fujimoto, the orchestra lacks technical polish across all sections, and has trouble achieving the mountain air clarity that Mozart demands. As the program was stuffed with familiar classics, the technical limitations of the orchestra were on full display. The first movement of the 38th Symphony...
