Certainly a football concert ought not to strive for the heights and depths, but it needn't be spread thin with kitsch, either. Perhaps both choruses should help out at the pep rally and give up for one evening their burden of reviving serious choral music. They're doing only a halfway...
Unlike most Western orchestras, the Leningrad under permanent Conductor Eugene Mravinsky seems to strive less for a blend of orchestral sound than for a contrast of one orchestral section with another-slightly thick woodwinds, say, against blazingly powerful brasses.
