What concerts are you looking forward to? (Part II)

[brewski]

Tomorrow night at 7:30 (Eastern), this livestream, broadast on this page. (Will not be archived.)

Juilliard Orchestra
David Robertson, Conductor
Angeline Ma, Piano

Brahms: Piano Concerto No. 2
Sibelius: Symphony No. 7
John Adams: Doctor Atomic Symphony

[Brian]

Sunday afternoon:

Glinka - Ruslan and Ludmila overture
Tchaikovsky - Symphony No. 2 "Ukrainian" (sort of)
Stravinsky - The Firebird suite, 1947 version

Dallas Symphony
Fabio Luisi

Does it strike you as an odd program? Maybe a little short or light or soloist-free? That's because Stravinsky himself conducted this exact program with this orchestra in the late 1940s, and Fabio decided to replicate it as a little historical tribute.

Tonight Yuja Wang at Carnegie Hall. What will she play? More important, what will she wear?

I might have gone, but I was seeing Yunchan Lim at Carnegie. Good but not outstanding.

Tomorrow, my first encounter with Britten's A Midsummer Night's Dream, thanks to the Curtis Opera Theatre. Have been listening to the classic 1967 recording (with Britten conducting) to get a sense of it, and so far, very impressed.

Love that opera.

Next live event on Sunday May 3: Puccini's Trittico in concert, conducted by Gianandrea Noseda. (Who next season also conducts the complete Ring cycle in concert.)

Not looking forward to this, but only because it was yesterday.

Waiting for Gianni Schicchi to wrap up the afternoon. From my 5th row center parquet seat, this is turning into a fabulous event.
