BSO/Classical New England — 2023/05/20

 Another Tanglewood concert is this evening's rebroadcast on WCRB:

Saturday, May 20, 2023
8:00 PM

In a concert by the Tanglewood Music Center Orchestra, Andris Nelsons leads Gustav Mahler’s meditation on grief and triumph, and soprano Christine Goerke sings a rarely heard work by Berlioz.

Tanglewood Music Center Orchestra 
Andris Nelsons, conductor 
Christine Goerke, soprano 

Hector BERLIOZ The Death of Cleopatra
Gustav MAHLER Symphony No. 5

This concert was originally broadcast on July 23, 2022 and is no longer available on demand.


This concert took place the day after the one they rebroadcast last week, so my comments from that weekend still apply, and the link to the BSO performance detail page still works. The portion of the Globe review of the weekend dealing with the Saturday concert is favorable, noting that it was a student orchestra, the Tanglewood Music Center Orchestra. The reviewer singled out the principal trumpet and the principal horn for well played solos in the Mahler. Again, no review in the Intelligencer.

So it should be a good evening.
