Once more, the BSO is on hiatus. They are on tour in Europe now, I believe, and the Symphony Hall subscription season will begin on October 5, with the first Saturday concert on October 7. Meanwhile, as usual, WCRB gives us "encore broadcasts" of earlier BSO concerts. Today it's from October of last year. Here's what WCRB says:
Saturday, August 26, 2023
8:00 PMIn an encore broadcast, Colombian conductor Andrés Orozco-Estrada has his Boston Symphony Orchestra debut conducting a rich program that includes Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet and Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 18 with soloist Emanuel Ax.
Andrés Orozco-Estrada, conductor
Emanuel Ax, pianoPeter TCHAIKOVSKY Romeo and Juliet Overture-Fantasy after Shakespeare
Wolfgang MOZART Piano Concerto No. 18
Béla BARTÓK The Miraculous Mandarin Suite
Georges ENESCU Romanian Rhapsody No. 1This concert was originally broadcast on October 15, 2022 and is no longer available on demand.
In a preview of the program, Andrés Orozco-Estrada describes the character of each piece, how he prepares to lead an orchestra for the first time, and who his models were as he learned his craft as a young conductor. To listen, use the audio player above, and read the transcript below.
TRANSCRIPT
Brian McCreath I'm Brian McCreath at Symphony Hall with Andrés Orozco-Estrada, who is here with the Boston Symphony for the very first time.
The full transcript of the interview is available at that WCRB page (likked above), as is the audio recording of it. I think you'll find it interesting if you have the time.
I posted about it back then, and the links in my post for the BSO performance detail page and the reviews still work, so you can go there for more backgrtound information on a well received performance.
Enjoy!
