BSO/Classical New England — 2017/11/11

Today WCRB rebroadcasts the Tanglewood concert of July 28 this past summer. Here's the description from the BSO program detail page:
Charles Dutoit is joined by pianist Yefim Bronfman for Brahms's Piano Concerto No. 2, one of the composer's most barnstorming, free-spirited works. The BSO opens the program with the Overture to Beethoven's The Creatures of Prometheus. Mr. Dutoit also leads the orchestra in Dvorak's New World Symphony.
(Some emphasis added.)

Check out the program detail page for the usual links as well. I don't see reviews in the Boston Globe or the Boston Musical Intelligencer (They don't cover all Tanglewood concerts.) so you don't get any pointers from the critics. You'll probably like it, though. The Brahms and Dvořák pieces are favorites, and the Beethoven overture, while not one of his most famous pieces, is typical Beethoven.

As always, you can hear it all over WCRB, beginning at 8:00 p.m., Boston Time (now Eastern Standard Time).
