BSO/Classical New England — 2025/06/14

 WCRB treats us to another concert from last summer at Tanglewood. Herewith their description:

Saturday, June 14, 2025
8:00 PM

In an encore broadcast, BSO Assistant Conductor Samy Rachid leads the orchestra for the first time in an all-Russian program that begins with Svetlanov’s emotional “Dawn in the Field,'' followed by Prokofiev’s First Violin Concerto, with soloist Midori, and Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 5, a piece celebrating victory through strife.

Boston Symphony Orchestra
Samy Rachid, conductor
Midori, violin

Evgeny SVETLANOV Dawn in the Field
Sergei PROKOFIEV Violin Concerto No. 1
Pyotr Ilyich TCHAIKOVSKY Symphony No. 5

This concert was originally broadcast on August 16, 2024, and is no longer available on demand.

The BSO's performance detail page has just the facts, but it also gives links to the program notes for each piece, which could prove interesting.
