A recent Chicago Symphony Orchestra program juxtaposed works by three masterful yet radically different composers of classical music: Wolfgang Mozart, William Kraft and Ottorino Respighi.
Principal timpani David Herbert makes his CSO solo debut performing Kraft’s “Timpani Concerto No. 1.”
No doubt you’ve heard the expression “bang the drum slowly.” But in this remarkable, immensely challenging 23-minute work by Kraft , Herbert finessed a wildly demanding, often rapid-fire series of bravura turns. Kraft was the Chicago-born son of Jewish immigrants from Ukraine and a member of the Los Angeles Philharmonic for 26 years; he worked as an assistant conductor and composer and was the philharmonic’s principal timpanist.
Music director Riccardo Muti and principal timpani David Herbert exchange timpani mallets and baton following Herbert’s solo debut with the CSO on Kraft’s “Timpani Concerto No. 1.”
