Applauding the orchestra for offering encores

Sibelius wasn't anywhere else on Noseda's program, yet Waltz Triste is wrought of the same easily recognizable material - that is, the stuff of top-40 classical radio, which made it most apt.

The original repertoire for this night was to have included P�rt's Collage �ber B-A-C-H and Bruckner's Symphony No. 7. But when back troubles led to the cancellation of conductor Donald Runnicles, that somewhat specialized repertoire disappeared. N�zet-S�guin, already in town, would have been the obvious replacement, but "Yannick was unfortunately not available to do this week," an orchestra spokeswoman said. "He also was ill last week, so this period is much-needed additional rest for him."

Noseda was nearby conducting the Metropolitan Opera and agreed to add these two concerts. (You can find him Saturday leading a matinee of La Traviata, and still have time to get to Verizon Hall for his Philadelphia Orchestra evening appearance. So, presumably, will he.)

Runnicles' program would have been more interesting. The Bach Concerto for Two Violins and String Orchestra was kept, but P�rt and Bruckner were replaced with Respighi's Ancient Airs and Dances for the Lute, Suite No. 3, and Dvorak's Symphony No. 8. The populist theme didn't exactly flood the hall with listeners, but, thankfully, Noseda's interpretations were hardly generic.
