The Boston Symphony is back, giving live concerts at Tanglewood. WCRB is broadcasting the Saturday concerts live at 8:00 p.m. and the Sunday matinees at 7:00 p.m. Of course, there are no reviews to link for the Tanglewood concerts, since the same programs aren't already performed earlier in the week, as happens at Symphony Hall.
Saturday, July 10, 2021. For Opening Night we get to enjoy an all-Beethoven concert. The BSO's performance detail page gives some links and summarizes:
(Some emphasis added.)Boston Symphony Orchestra
Andris Nelsons, conductor
Emanuel Ax, pianoALL-BEETHOVEN PROGRAM
Overture to The Creatures of Prometheus
Piano Concerto No. 5, Emperor
Symphony No. 5
It's surprising that they don't have the sort of overview we got in pre-Covid days. Maybe there have been staff reductions, and nobody has time to produce the write up. As always, you can click on the link to progrsm notes for a description of each piece. But what's not to like in this program? I'm especially looking forward to the "Emperor" Concerto. Listen on line or on the air at 8:00 p.m. Boston Time to enjoy.
Sunday, July 11, 2021. The performance detail page lists the works being given only toward the end.
Andris Nelsons conducts and Baiba Skride is the violin soloist. I have no idea what the first piece will be like, but the program note promises that it will be short. The others should be pretty good. Don't forget, the Sunday broadcast is an hour earlier than the one on Saturday — 7:00 p.m.
