...with Jacob Druckman’s “Aureole” (1979), a score rich in hazy mystery and textural allure, qualities that Keitaro Harada had no trouble coaxing from the orchestra.

Conductor Keitaro Harada, returning to the company after an eight-year hiatus, again proved his expert sense of rhythm and tempo, moving things along in a sprightly manner but allowing sensual and emotional moments to register fully, especially in the entr'actes to Acts II and III. The company's 46-piece orchestra responded vibrantly, including many fine instrumental solos and several rousing climaxes.

Although his Symphonie fantastique was written just a few years after the death of Beethoven, Berlioz’s imagination resonates as timeless, arguably almost psychedelic, particularly in this piece. Harada and his orchestra appeared visibly delighted to be bringing this into play...
The sadness stays in the sound of the stand-alone oboe at the start of the “Scene in the Countryside,” and Harada confidently refrained from rushing any part of this pastoral movement, an homage to Beethoven’s Sixth...
The concluding “Witches’ Sabbath” was rendered marvelously macabre, all of the composer’s shades and effects magically and memorably delivered by Harada and his orchestral conspirators.

Harada showed that he is a skilled sound-painter in the first three interludes: “Dawn,” “Sunday Morning” and “Moonlight.” In the fourth, “The Storm,” he was able to cut loose with a demonstration of raw power. The conductor didn’t neglect to bring out subtleties in the music, including an evocation of mist and sea-spray and even a few rays of sun trying to poke through the storm clouds. The core appeal of “The Storm,” however, is the ferocious, blasting tempest depicted with uncanny accuracy. Harada whipped the SBSO into a howling force of nature, providing the evening’s first heart-pounding thrills.

For the final four or five minutes of the 35-minute performance, the whole orchestra seemed on the verge of leaping out of their seats and breaking into one giant dance party. Harada was at the podium, bouncing on the balls of his toes, flailing his arms in time to Bizet's racing score. The Cincinnati Symphony associate conductor, leading without a score, pointed to his left and the violins came to life.

01/11/2015 Arizona Daily Star: Review - Harada shines in TSO classical debut
Harada drew those lines subtly, racing the tempo at times to create a palpable tension then settling into lush string passages that created a cinematic soundscape.
Harada and the orchestra performed it with the breadth and conviction of a symphony, digging deep into his symphonic ambitions to reveal dynamic colors and textures from all sides of the ensemble. Harada brought out soaring strings swelling against triumphant horns and trumpets that pierced the calm. Deep voiced bass lines contrasted the calm of twin flutes and clarinets. Brahms might not have called this a symphony, but Harada presented it as one, drawing a rich, colorful performance from the orchestra.
