Tanglewood — 2019/07/05-07 — Correction
Egad! I thought WCRB would give us all the major weekend concerts from Tanglewood. But no! This evening we're not getting today's concert, but one from last summer.

Tanglewood — 2019/07/05-07
The Boston Symphony begins its Tanglewood Season this weekend. WCRB will broadcast and stream the Friday and Saturday concerts live at 8:00 p.m. each day and the Sunday concert by tape delay at 7:00 p.m. I don't know about the Tower piece, but the rest looks pretty mainstream. Enjoy!
Friday, July 5, 2019. Opening night features Mozart and Mahler. Here's the synopsis from the orchestra's own program detail page:
As regular readers of these blogposts know, the performance detail page has links to further information including program notes, audio previews, performer bios (click the thumbnail photos), and related media. There are also links to additional material on the WCRB homepage, as well as the button to listen "live" over the internet.
The Mahler Symphony was performed in Symphony Hall on November 17, 2018. My post at the time was highly abbreviated, so if you want reviews, you'll need to do your own digging in the Globe and the Musical Intelligencer. The piano concerto was given, with a different soloist and conductor, on January 26 of this year. My blogpost about the concert doesn't have anything to say about the Mozart, but it does have links to reviews.
Saturday, July 6, 2019. On Saturday there are three pieces which were not performed in Symphony Hall during the past season. Again, the performance detail page gives some links and summarizes:
Sunday, July 7, 2019. Sunday brings a "guest appearance" by the Boston Pops. The performance detail page gives some details about the performance, although the Pops performs so many pieces that they don't list them all.
What the synopsis doesn't mention is that David Newman shares podium duties with Maestro Williams.
Friday, July 5, 2019. Opening night features Mozart and Mahler. Here's the synopsis from the orchestra's own program detail page:
Andris Nelsons leads the Boston Symphony Orchestra in its Opening Night concert of the season with Tanglewood favorite Emanuel Ax performing Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 22, on a program with Mahler’s Symphony No. 5.(Emphasis added.)

Saturday, July 6, 2019. On Saturday there are three pieces which were not performed in Symphony Hall during the past season. Again, the performance detail page gives some links and summarizes:
Andris Nelsons leads the Boston Symphony Orchestra in a program opening with Joan Tower’s Fanfare for the Uncommon Woman No. 1, followed by the BSO’s first Tanglewood performance of André Previn’s Violin Concerto, Anne-Sophie, featuring the dedicatee of the work, Anne-Sophie Mutter, as soloist; this program ends with Dvořák’s Symphony No. 9, From the New World.(Some emphasis added.)
Sunday, July 7, 2019. Sunday brings a "guest appearance" by the Boston Pops. The performance detail page gives some details about the performance, although the Pops performs so many pieces that they don't list them all.
Join the Boston Pops for the first of three programs this summer, celebrating the art of John Williams. Drawing from her recent recording “Across the Stars,” the great violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter performs selections from Mr. Williams’ iconic scores, in brilliant new arrangements created especially for her. The program includes music from Star Wars, Dracula and Harry Potter, as well as the haunting melodies of Memoirs of a Geisha.(Some emphasis added.)
