review of a piano concert
In beiden Werken probierte Krumpöock eigenwillige Interpretationswege aus. Im Tempo aufeinander bezogene Abschnitte zerlegte er in sehr unterschiedliche Zeitmaße, die an den Nähten wieder zuzammenzufügen nicht immer gelang. Dadurch geriet das Gefühl der Musiker für das Zusammendwirken im Ensemble aus den Fugen. Gelegentlich klapperte es im Zusammenspiel oder die Musiker hielten sich gar hinter den Konzertmeister zurück und fügten sich seinem Vorspiel, was aber die Einheitlichkeit das Klanges nicht gut tat.

: Mit Vorspiel im Sinne von "prelude/overture" hat das nichts zu tun. Gemeint ist, dass die Musiker einfach dem Konzertmeister folgten, anstatt wirklich als Ensemble zu funktionieren.

I stand corrected. In fact, prelude/overture didn't really make sense to me.

H. C. Centner
: My colleague is correct in that it has nothing to do with prelude.

You're right. Shame I didn't follow my intuition.

bowed to his lead
The Konzertmeister is the first Violinist. He basically leads the Orchester with his phrasing and bowing. He is the go-between so to say between the conductor and other members of the Orchester. Here,the orchestra held back, bowing to the lead of the Concertmeister, and this was not a good choice.

followed his performance
The musician wasn't keeping a steady tempo. The other musicians followed his performance to the detriment of the ensemble.
It would help if the context was known. Was this an audition, a performance as soloist or concertmaster, etc?

The one non-theatrical piece on the program was Lalo's "Symphonie espagnole," which featured a truly dreadful solo performance by longtime concertmaster Raymond Kobler. While Jarvi and the orchestra tagged along gamely, Kobler offered a half hour's worth of out-of-tune violin playing, stiff, constrained rhythms and brusque phrasing.

At Saturday's concert, the group -- called Arrival -- practically ignored the orchestra. Many songs, in fact, were done without lush accompaniment. Instead, the 12 guests did their own thing and the orchestra tagged along.

merely playing/trying to play along
That's how it is when good musicians are poorly led.

: Again, this covers the meaning and the undertone ("merely") of the source very well.
