I talked to Aho for a minute or so at intermission - really nice guy. And that was a really good piece. I'm glad they flipped the Stravinsky and the clarinet concerto; made for a much better flow.
The problem with Der Rosenklavier Suite is that it always makes me wish Strauss had written some more tone poems, or, gasp, a symphony. Such pretty music, and it stops just when it could be getting interesting!
