This evening we get an "encore broadcast" from WCRB, the concert performed on February 12, 2022. Herewith their blurb:
Saturday, April 1, 2023
8:00 PMIn an encore Boston Symphony broadcast, Philippe Jordan makes his BSO debut conducting an all-Russian program of Borodin, a suite from Prokofiev’s "Romeo and Juliet," and Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 3 with soloist Yefim Bronfman.
Philippe Jordan, conductor
Yefim Bronfman, pianoBORODIN Overture to Prince Igor
RACHMANINOFF Piano Concerto No. 3
PROKOFIEV Suite from Romeo and JulietThis concert was originally broadcast on February 12, 2022 and is no longer available on demand.
Hear Philippe Jordan describe his own suite from Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet, the differences between conducting ballet music for a ballet and in concert, and the complicated history of Borodin's Prince Igor Overture with the audio player above, or in the tab below. Read the transcript in the tab below.
Hear Yefim Bronfman describe the challenge of returning to Rachmaninoff's Third Piano Concerto after being away from it for many years, the value of hearing the composer play it, and the mysteries of choosing the right instrument to play it on, using the audio player in the tab below. Read the transcript in the tab below.
I posted about it back then. I hope the links to the reviews and performance detail page still work. As you see, there are links on the WCRB page to interviews with the pianist and the conductor. It's all pretty standard stuff. So enjoy.
Since this is an "encore" there apparently won't be a chance to hear it again on April 10.
