The Baltimore Symphony's presentation of "The Inca Trail" at the Strathmore was one of the finest creation yet for a sold-out audience.  It was part travelogue...with audio visual assist (sterling photography by Fabiana Van Lente)...and part musical history of South American...and scintillating with well nuanced music conducted with zeal and exciting style by Miguel Harth-Bedoya.  Mr. Harth-Bedoya knew his hispanic music well and he used full body energy as he conducted the Baltimore Symphony into top level performance which was especially true of  the brass and and percussion players.  The orchestra started with "El Condor Pasa" to nicely put the audience into hispanic mood.   Then came older works by Baltasar Martinez y Copanon reflecting ancient compositions with expected dissonance but this conductor tempered it with flowing ebb and tide undersounds.  The only disappointment was that there was not more of the ancient work.   The BSO moved on into music influenced  by European musical movement into South America.  So "Responsorio" took on a look of Dvorak and "Danza fantastica" had pulsating rhythms of Ravel.   Jessica Warren-Acosta  used four flutes to give effective quality to the rain god's ("Illapa") dynamics.  Mr. Harth-Bedoya hit the volume too much with the orchestra so a lot of her gorgeous phrases were lost.   Cellist Ilya Finkelshteyn opened the second part in a piece by Golijov again with too many phrases drowned out by the orchestra but when allowed to soar in solos Mr. Finkelshteyn brought angelic beauty to his playing. There was no stopping his searing emotionality on the instrument although he kept an appropriate unaffected body style.   The concert ended with an exciting tango, choclo and mixed dance by an unnamed but very sexy dance couple.  No one left the Strathmore disappointed!
