Transcript:
Brian McCreath I'm Brian McCreath at Symphony Hall in Boston and very pleased that Håkan Hardenberger is back here with us,
The concert was originally performed and broadcast on Nonember 20, 2021, and I wrote about it then. Sorry to say, I don't remember what I thought of it at the time, but the links in my postfrom that date seem to be working, so you can check out the BSO's program notes etc. and the reviews.
For now, I can only add that if you don't like the Widmann, most of you will probably find the Mahler easy listening.
