A weekend of stretching classical music boundaries

Over the past few days concert goers at the Aspen Music Festival heard a Chinese composer’s piece for piano and orchestra that swerved from celestial beauty to agonizing noise, a saxophonist who delineated music by composers from Baroque to Björk with a pop artist’s flair, Wynton Marsalis’ delightful jazz-infused version of a Stravinsky classic and a 45-minute rumination of the history of time that spread sections of the orchestra around the perimeter of the music tent.

Virtuosity shines most brilliantly in a thoughtful weekend at the music festival

There s nothing like sheer virtuosity in instantly relatable music to liven up the proceedings. In the weekend s Benedict Music Tent highlights, saxophonist Steven Banks brought a high-voltage jolt to Friday s Chamber Symphony with a new, crowd-pleasing concerto written for him. Then on Sunday, violinist Gil Shaham and the Festival Orchestra reveled in Eric Korngold s ear-soothing, frankly Romantic concerto, which Jascha Heifetz debuted in 1947.
