BSO/Classical New England — 2018/04/14

This week the BSO is on tour to Carnegie Hall, so WCRB is giving us a "encore broadcast" and webstream of the concert given last July 16 at Tanglewood. Andris Nelsons conducts the world premiere of Markings for violin, strings, and harp by John Williams, the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto with Anne-Sophie Mutter as soloist, and, after intermission, Symphonie Fantastique by Berlioz. I posted about it at the time, but there wasn't any further information, except the links on the performance detail page.

I can't find any reviews in the Globe or the Intelligencer, and frankly, I don't have any specific recollection of the new Williams piece, but of course, the other two are standards of the repertoire, so it should be worthwhile listening, beginning this evening at 8:00 p.m. Boston Time.

Enjoy!
