“A typical Salomon performance in which the large orchestra filled St John’s with vibrant sounds, and the players’ enthusiasm really communicating itself to the capacity audience” On Shostakovich: “O’Neill encouraged the orchestra to play with brilliant incisiveness and he clearly relished the big sound that they made in the confines of St John’s Smith Square (as did the players), though the effect was always one of discipline and order.” Read more about this concert from Robert Hugill: http://www.planethugill.com/2016/02/dvorak-brahms-shostakovich-from-robin.html
