BSO/Classical New England — 2019/09/07

Here's the scoop on this evening's concert from WCRB:
Saturday, September 7, 2019
8:00 PM
In an encore broadcast of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Herbert Blomstedt conducts Brahms's majestic Symphony No. 1, and guest soloist Truls Mørk showcases the lightheartedness of Haydn in his Cello Concerto No. 1.
Recorded on January 19, 2019
Herbert Blomstedt, conductor
Truls Mørk, cello
HAYDN Cello Concerto No. 1 in C
BRAHMS Symphony No. 1
(Emphasis added.)

The WCRB web page for the concert has a link to an interview with the cellist about the Haydn concerto. Their home page has links to a lot more about what they're presenting, as well as the "Listen Live" button for listening over the web. There is a bit more about it (including a link to the Globe review) in my preview posted in January.

It's good standard repertory, and most listeners should find it worth hearing. The show begins at 8:00 p.m.,  Boston Time.

Enjoy.
