Review: Christoph Konig has debut with L.A. Phil and Pepe Romero

If all had gone as planned, Rafael Fruhbeck de Burgos would have led an all-Spanish first half at Walt Disney Concert Hall Thursday night.� But the eminent Spanish conductor was forced to cancel his appearances due to illness last week -- and into the gap stepped young, tall Christoph Konig in what suddenly became his Los Angeles Philharmonic debut. He kept one Spanish piece --Pepe Romero’s vehicle, Joaquin Rodrigo's "Concierto de Aranjuez" -- and swapped the other for Dvor�k's Scherzo Capriccioso, while closing as previously scheduled with Brahms’ Symphony No. 2.
