Summary:But the event, which began June 24, certainly has been generating its own heat indoors. It did so again Friday and Saturday evenings at the Broward Center, where the Florida Philharmonic drew hearty crowds and delivered some sizzling performances. Friday's program was devoted to two items written by Beethoven around 1807 - the Mass in C, featuring the Philharmonic Chorus, and the Symphony No. 5. Conductor James Judd approached the Mass with keen interest in the musical drama that Beethoven made out of the ancient Latin text - the poignant emphasis on the Domine Deus, Agnus Dei line in the Gloria section, for example; the dark, twisting melody at the mention of Pontius Pilate in the Credo; the emotional pleading of Donna nobis pacem.
