Sunday evening was a great evening for a concert and to hear selections from two of my favorite Disney movies, Fantasia<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Fantasia 2000<\/strong>. This was the second show of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra\u2019s performances at their summer home, Ravinia Festival. The CSO was conducted by Ted Sperling, who was the recipient of the 2006 Ted Shen Family Foundation Award. This show was a real treat since it was the CSO under the direction of James Levine that performed the music for the Fantasia 2000 movie.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The CSO started the show with two Beethoven Symphonies, Movement 1 from Symphony No. 5 in C Minor, Op. 67 and Movements 3\u20135 from Symphony No. 6 in F Major, Op. 68. They then performed Tchaikovsky\u2019s \u201cThe Nutcracker Suite, Op. 71a\u201d and Debussy\u2019s \u201cClair de lune\u201d from Suite bergamasque. The next song was my personal favorite from Fantasia 2000<\/strong>, Stravinsky\u2019 \u201cThe Firebird Suite\u201d.<\/p>\n

After taking a short intermission, they started the second set with Ponchielli\u2019s \u201cDance of the Hours\u201d from La Gioconda. They then played my favorite from the original Fantasia<\/strong> movie, Dukas\u2019 \u201cThe Sorcerer\u2019s Apprentice\u201d. That was followed by Elgar\u2019 \u201cMarches Nos. 1\u20134 from Pomp and Circumstance, Op. 39\u201d, which was used for the retelling of Noah\u2019s Ark with Donald and Daisy Duck for Fantasia 2000. The CSO ended the show with Respighi\u2019s \u201cPines of Rome, P. 141\u201d. The CSO did a bonus encore, Camille Saint-Sa\u00ebns\u2019 \u201cThe Carnival of the Animals\u201d which Ted introduced as \u201cThis is what happens when you give yo-yos to flamingoes\u201d.<\/p>\n

Ted Sperling also will direct the orchestra and the Lakeside Singers in Danny Elfman’s music for Tim Burton films, Tuesday, July 14 at 8 p.m. For more information about the CSO shows check out: https:\/\/www.ravinia.org<\/a><\/p>\n
