BSO — December Hiatus — 2014/12/27

Unfortunately, I got a bit tied up Saturday and didn't get this written in time for the Saturday broadcast and stream, but there's still plenty of time to hear the rebroadcast on January 5. And of course, you can always listen at the regular time, even if I haven't posted something to tell you what to expect.

At any rate, on Saturday, WCRB gave us a rebroadcast of a concert from last summer's Tanglewood season, including music of Richard Strauss, Rachmaninoff, and Ravel. The station's BSO page gives us the usual links and scheduling info, as well as this synopsis of the concert:

In an encore broadcast from the 2014 Tanglewood season, Andris Nelsons conducts the Tanglewood Music Center Orchestra in music from Strauss's Der Rosenkavalier, and the BSO in Rachmaninoff'sSymphonic Dances, and Ravel's Bolero.

(Some emphasis added.)

It's now available for listening on demand, and it will also be broadcast and streamed one more time on January 5. I heard the first half and some of the second, and thought it was pretty good.

Monday, December 29 will bring one more rebroadcast/webstream of last summer's Tanglewood concert of music by Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven, which I described before the December 13 broadcast.
