Opening night features Mozart and Mahler. Here's the synopsis from the orchestra's own program detail page:You can check the orchestra's performance detail page via the link in my post. Subsequently, a very favorable review appeared in the Boston Musical Intelligencer. The Boston Globe was similarly favorable.
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.)
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.
So this should be worth listening to. I'm looking forward to it, especially the Mozart.
Don't forget, it starts at 7:00 p.m., not 8:00, on WCRB.
