BSO/Classical New England — 2020/08/15

Tonight's encore broadcast via WCRB is of the Tanglewood concert of Sunday, July 7, 2019. It features Anne-Sophie Mutter performing music of John Williams arranged for her, with the Boston Pops playing and himself sharing conducting duties. Here's what I wrote at the time:

Sunday brings a "guest appearance" by the Boston Pops. The performance detail page gives some details about the performance, although the Pops performs so many pieces that they don't list them all.

Join the Boston Pops for the first of three programs this summer, celebrating the art of John Williams. Drawing from her recent recording “Across the Stars,” the great violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter performs selections from Mr. Williams’ iconic scores, in brilliant new arrangements created especially for her. The program includes music from Star Wars, Dracula and Harry Potter, as well as the haunting melodies of Memoirs of a Geisha.

(Some emphasis added.)

What the synopsis doesn't mention is that David Newman shares podium duties with Maestro Williams.

Note the links both in my blurb and in WCRB's description.

I couldn't find a review in the Globe, but there is one in the Intelligencer that gives some good background information.

It should be interesting. Enjoy.
