BSO/Classical New England — 2018/05/12

As I mentioned last week, it is now the period between the BSO's Symphony Hall season and their summer season at Tanglewood. Over the next several weeks, WCRB will be rebroadcasting concerts from the first weeks of the past Symphony Hall season. The schedule is here.  As you can see there, this week we get to hear again the concert of September 23, 2017. (For some reason, I can't get the second page to open, so I'm not sure about what comes toward the end of the period.)

I posted about it at the time. And here's a link to the orchestra's performance detail page for that concert. Since opening night (with a different program) had been the evening before this concert, there had been no previous performances of this program and therefore no reviews when I wrote my post. Subsequently, the Boston Globe had a favorable review, while the Intelligencer wasn't completely satisfied, but gave extensive descriptions of the music and the way it was performed. Between reviews and program notes, there's plenty of preview material, if you're interested.

The show begins on air and on line over WCRB at 8:00 p.m. Boston Time. I'm not sure if they'll do it again on the 21st.

Enjoy.
