Coverage of the 2011 Centennial Opening Night Gala of the San
Francisco Symphony. The event was overseen by the San Francisco
Symphony's current Music Director, Michael Tilson Thomas, and
featured performances by musicians including violinist Itzhak
Perlman.
Because he's long been stereotyped by the rousing neo-romantic
adventure scores for the Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and Jurassic
Park franchises, it's easy to forget that composer John Williams is
hardly idiomatically challenged. When Steven Spielberg gratifyingly
used the clout of his enormous commercial success to produce and
direct this brave Holocaust drama, his longtime musical
collaborator used the opportunity to display both the depth and
maturity of his musical gifts and training, producing a score with
sad, evocative melodies frequently carried by the violin of the
great Itzhak Perlman. Rich with ethnic nuance and showcasing the
composer's masterful orchestral/choral subtlety, Williams's
emotionally compelling score for Schindler's List also won the
Academy Award for Best Dramatic Score. --Jerry McCulley
