The symphony was only moderately well received, probably because people were bored. It was followed by Weber's Konzertstück, which Gauk played well in places, but with an awful lot of mistakes. I accompanied carefully and accurately. The orchestra got lost sometimes in the innumerable pauses, but got through to the end successfully. Gauk had a huge success, clearly not on account of his playing but of his pretty face. Dranishnikov then conducted the Wedding March to the accompaniment of trumpets and drums and calls for the Director to take a bow. |
