Post-Concert Press:
October 30, 2010 The Star-Ledger, "From Russian revelations to New Jersey roots"
| |
"In a program that built to Prokofiev’s vibrant and imposing Symphony No. 5, Lacombe led an invigorated NJSO ... Throughout [Roger Sessions' The Black Maskers Suite], Lacombe’s attentive spurring on of the deeply engaged orchestra made one look forward to hearing more contemporary music from the NJSO this season."

Pre-Concert Press:
October 15, 2010 "The And Of One"; "NJSO Performs Oct. 28-31"
| |
Carlton Wilkinson writes: "A suite from 'Black Maskers' by Roger Sessions, the late Princeton University composer and professor ... is part of the NJSO's newly initiated 'New Jersey Roots' project, exploring the wealth of material by composers connected to the Garden State. The NJ Roots project is one of the most exciting initiatives undertaken by the group's new director, Jacques Lacombe and I'm eager to see and hear how it plays out."

MUSICIAN INSIGHT |

Prokofiev’s Fifth Symphony is an incredible piece—I’ve always loved it, and it’s such a pure joy to play. While that was a really familiar work that I love to return to, the opposite side was also present [on this program]. It’s safe to say that none of us knew [Roger Sessions' Suite from The Black Maskers], and it’s really nice to experience something that is really challenging and unfamiliar. I think it’s a language type of thing, just like with contemporary music—the only way you get familiar with it is to really be exposed to it. It turned out to be a wonderful piece, and I heard a lot of people saying how much they enjoyed playing it. It was a great bookend to the Prokofiev.

BRAHMS PIANO CONCERTO NO. 1
Nov. 5 –7
George Gershwin was only 21 when he composed his tender lullaby, as was Kurt Weill when he wrote his bittersweet First Symphony. Both composers owed much to Brahms, and his incomparable talent. |

ENIGMA VARIATIONS
Nov. 27 & 28
Music to tantalize the mind as it delights the ears! Concertmaster Eric Wyrick solos in a colorful concerto by Edward T. Cone. Elgar sketched musical portraits of his friends in his Enigma Variations—the work’s puzzle has yet to be solved. Webern’s fascinating setting illuminates hidden facets of Bach’s The Musical Offering. |
