Music from three centuries, and vastly different idioms, filled the final programme of the Cleveland Orchestra’s 2000-1 season at their home in Severance Hall. Principal oboist John Mack was the soloist in Handel’s B flat concerto, before the orchestra’s string section divided in twain for Bartok’s Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta (this work omitted in the Friday morning concert). Mahler gives a starring role to the oboe in the nature-sounds of his First Symphony, which also anticipates some of Bartok’s more spookily nocturnal effects.
