Extractions: arts ... ARTS : EXHIBITIONISM BY JERRY YOUNG Bass Concert Hall, Sept. 5 Even if it weren't one of the most familiar pieces of symphonic music, Bedrich Smetana's "The Moldau" would be a perfect way to welcome an audience back for a new symphony season. This music flows downstream through scenic musical snapshots, with a few stressless thrills along the way. For the Austin Symphony's season opener, conductor Peter Bay made this rendition a pleasure cruise. He never pushed, letting us feel the churning currents as they push the music forward. He let the musicians play out yet never made this a cheap souvenir by schmaltzing up the endless, rich melodies. Except at a climax where the flutes didn't become too piercingly loud, this was a polished romp. Then came Manuel da Falla's Nights in the Gardens of Spain with guest pianist Emanuel Ax, and for all the good things you can say about the symphony's performance, there was no way it could match the full-voiced certainty of the almost too-familiar "Moldau." The piece is a rarity for the ASO and one of Ax's smaller steps in expanding his repertoire from the Beethoven/Brahms/Chopin core on which he formed his career. You heard the sensitive virtuosity you expect from Ax, and in this music of gestures and interjections, it was easy to hear the relish for the moment that Ax and Bay share. Both brought a forthright eloquence to the music that was always refined, although sometimes too understated and hardly ever passionate. Nevertheless, there was plenty to hold the attention, especially in the way the melodies would wax and wane as they flowed between Ax and the various parts of the orchestra. The care given to the interplay made the occasional underattended phrase that much more noticeable.
