“Born in 1982, Mr. Cheung is already an accomplished composer, pianist and, as the artistic director of the Talea Ensemble, advocate for new music. “Fog Mobiles,” heard here in the first performance of a version for chamber orchestra, evokes San Francisco, where he grew up, with its unending, varied symphony of foghorns, waves and wind…“Fog Mobiles” is a concerto of sorts, but it manages to do interesting things with the genre. Mr. Cheung, a gifted orchestrator, creates a shimmering, shifting sound world, alternately ethereal and groaning, and as changeable as the weather of the city that inspired it. The woodwinds whistle and the brasses moan; there is even an occasional hint of jazz in their pealing riffs. The horn soloist, Saar Berger, created sounds, muted and not, that suggested foghorns heard from various distances. It wasn’t abstract, but not quite naturalistic either. Near the end Mr. Berger walked off the stage and began to play from behind the audience: what might have seemed a cheap effect proved surprisingly subtle. The volume and intensity of the ensemble rose, with howling spikes in the violins and tapping on the bodies of the cellos. The work doesn’t come to any pat conclusion. It just ends.”
