WCRB has picked a good concert from last summer to rebroadcast and stream this evening and again on February 17 at 8:00 p.m., Boston Time. It's the concert that was given on August 4. Yefim Bronfman is piano soloist and Dima Slobodeniouk is conductor the the Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto № 3 and Sibelius Symphony № 1. While neither is on my "must listen" list, the concerto is highly regarded, and I like listening to Sibelius. WCRB doesn't seem to have any links to further material on their page about the concert. The BSO's performance detail page is also pretty "bare bones" but it does have links for the performers and the Rachmaninoff concerto.
The Boston Musical Intelligencer did not review the concert. The Globe is favorable, but with reservations — not a rave. I posted a preview, but it adds nothing to what's in this post.
My recommendation on balance: give it a listen if you can. Go to WCRB. As always, the home page links other features.
