Reviews/Music; For the Cleveland, Audience Divided
1989
Overview
Apart from some pitch problems in the opening aria, Miss [Kathleen Battle] was better in Bach's ''Wedding'' Cantata (BWV 202). Here she sang with straightforward sobriety and considerable grace, matched in John Mack's rendering of the work's prominent oboe line and Daniel Majeske's solo violin playing. Otherwise this was a rather old-fashioned account by today's standards, with warm string textures and a bassoon bass doubling that gave it the sound of a 1950's vintage Bach performance. It has a bit of everything: passages orchestrated with a Mahlerian richness; patches of jazzy brass writing; a siren and all manner of percussion; Latin cross rhythms; dense chordal clusters, and melodic fragments from Stravinsky's ''Rite of Spring.'' And it is not without humor: [Edgar Varese] wrote ''Ha! Ha! Ha!'' under one of the trombone lines to make his intention clear. As an evocation of its time and place, it is uncannily successful.
