Classical review: Fabien Gabel conducts the RPO

Popular guest conductor Fabien Gabel joined the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra in a return to Kodak Hall on Thursday for a program that truly was a tale of two halves, featuring startlingly contrasting moods. It can be argued that the evening's first piece, Bernard Herrmann's suite from the film "Vertigo," was its best: Gabel's conducting was fluid and forceful as he presided over teetering violins, the scurl of low brass, and the ominous, dreamy quality of the vibraphone.
