NSO, Lopez-Cobos disappoint in "Iberian Suite" program

Such a disappointment. An enticing program that wasn't performed well enough. This was the National Symphony Orchestra's concert Friday night, part of the Kennedy Center's "Iberian Suite" festival. It offered Spain- and Portugal-tinged music that I wouldn't think I could resist, such as Hector Villa-Lobos's "Bachianas Brasileiras," No. 5, with its haunting melody.
