The Shostakovich and the Britten are old standards that I like well, and which were done fairly well (I get the feeling that the ASO coasts through the children's concerts--concerts with the Atlanta Youth Orchestra at least feel like the performers are up for it). The Poulenc was, well, ballet music. I can't recall anything memorable about the music at all. But the ballet was well done and well paced for children--short dances, interspersed with more narration. Good concert.
