Extractions: Salonen's account of Debussy's Iberia was highly polished yet curiously, clinically sterile - surely not what the composer intended. The orchestral textures were smoothed out, having the silky characteristics of a Guilini interpretation. The second movement was scentless and passionless, and as I scanned the audience they seemed bored. The castanets seemed curiously mechanical, while the woodwind were woolly and dull. The strings were suave but lacked attack; Salonen seemed as detached from this score as the orchestra - it just never took off. Listening to Toscanini's 1938 paradigmatic account of Iberia with the NBC Symphony Orchestra illustrates perfectly where Salonen went wrong.
