“And now for the two notes that changed the course of music history.” Conductor Carl Topilow was half-joking in his introduction to the “Shark Theme” from Jaws, just one of many recognizable movie moments from the Cleveland Pops Orchestra’s “Salute to John Williams” on November 12.
But he was also hinting at the composer’s influential, all-too-easy-to-imitate style, and piece after piece proved this true, immersing the audience at Severance Music Center in Williams’ sometimes repetitive but always satisfying musical world.
The very existence of this Fall preview section should bring joy to any classical music lover’s heart. After months of occasional, scattered events, many of them outdoors, there now are enough traditional concerts on the books by groups all over Northeast Ohio to compile an entire catalog looking forward as far as May.
