BSO/Classical New England — 2020/02/15

For the final Saturday before the live BSO subscription concerts resume, WCRB has chosen to present the Tanglewood concert of Saturday, August 10, 2019. The orchestra's performance detail page gives us the basics and links to background information:

The 2019 Tanglewood season will also see the BSO and Tanglewood debut of Venezuelan conductor Rafael Payare, who leads the orchestra on Saturday, August 10, in Carreño’s Margaritena, Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 1 with Nikolai Lugansky, and Brahms’s Symphony No. 1.

(Some emphasis added.)

On their page about the concert, WCRB has a link to an interview with the conductor.

The Boston Globe has a noncommittal review, which I find interesting because it mentions two horn players. I posted a very brief preview back in August.

It should be a pleasant evening this evening at 8:00 and again on February 24 at 8:00 p.m., EST, over WCRB.
