Cary Boyce, writing for the Columbus Republic had great things to say about Charles’ recent performance of the “Linzer” Symphony with the Columbus Indiana Philharmonic.
An excerpt from the article:
…the young Charles Latshaw, CIP’s assistant conductor, gave [Mozart] a simply wonderful interpretation, and the orchestra responded in kind.Latshaw has a minimalist approach to conducting, offering precision and economy of gesture.
He directs when it’s necessary, and stays out of the way when it is not, instead attending to the rhythm and pacing of the piece, allowing the strings to nail their grace and lyricism to the pulsing winds and brass without obstacles or oppression.
Latshaw kept the orchestra steady and unhurried, ending the work without over-compensatin, allowing the piece to carry its reputation, and the orchestra to play in a transparent, precise, but uninhibited fashion.
I look forward to future performances by this upcoming maestro.
