BSO/Classical New England — 2020/07/11

Today we get last summer's Tanglewood concert of July 21. At the time neither I nor the performance detail page had much to say — "just the facts."
[This evening] we'll have a chance to hear some more or less familiar music. I quote the performance detail page: www.bso.org/Performance/Detail/100263/
Jean-Yves Thibaudet is the featured soloist for two works by GershwinPiano Concerto in F and Variations on “I Got Rhythm,” for piano and orchestra; Andris Nelsons leads the BSO in a performance of Stravinsky’s Petrushkato complete the program.

(Some emphasis added.)
Neither the Globe nor the Intelligencer has a review I can find. So we are left with the links on the performance detail page. Well, Gershwin is familiar enough, and "Petrushka" is the least jarring (to me, anyway) of Stravinsky's three most famous ballets. So it should be a pretty good evening, beginning at 8:00 on WCRB.
