BSO/Classical New England — 2022/05/07

 This evening, while the BSO is on break for a few weeks, WCRB takes us to the BSO's "golden grooveyard." In other words (from WCRB):

Tonight at 8, it's an evening dedicated to the BSO's rich recording discography, centered on Johannes Brahms's Symphony No. 2 and Dmitri Shostakovich's Symphony No. 1 with Music Director Andris Nelsons, plus works by Thomas Adès and Ferruccio Busoni.

Boston Symphony Orchestra
Andris Nelsons, conductor

Ferruccio BUSONI Piano Concerto in C: IV. Tarantella
SHOSTAKOVICH Symphony No. 1

Recordings courtesies of Deutsche Grammophon, BSO Classics, Oberlin Music, and Myrios.

What more can I say? Since it's not a concert, there are no reviews, nor a BSO performance detail page. I can't say any of these pieces are favorites of mine, but I'll probably leave the radio on. Of course "everybody" likes Brahms.
