Back.
First, the modern piece of shit was some atrocity called "Finding Rothko." "Rothko" is some modern painter. To drive the point home they flashed samples of his work that supposedly "inspired" the music. All I can say about the paintings is that Rothko seems like an untalented 3 year old who found the finger paint. The music was worse. Rothko should be killed not found.
Following that was the Bruch Violin Concerto. Now, the bar for the evening had been set low by the first piece and Bruch easily cleared it. The violinist was superb. The first movement was very good, the second somewhat pedestrian but the third really made up for that Finding Rothko shit.
The Mahler concluded the evening and brought down the house.
