MENDELSSOHN SCOTTISH
SYMPHONY DVOŘÁK SYMPHONY NO. 8 ELGAR ENIGMA VARIATIONS
Norwegian conductor Rune Bergmann
leads the BSO in Edvard Grieg’s First Suite
from Peer Gynt, featuring the hypnotic
“Dance in the Hall of the Mountain King.”
Another piece rich in folk flavor is Dvořák’s
Eighth Symphony with its nostalgic
portrait of the Czech countryside and
rollicking dances. Haydn wrote his Sinfonia
Concertante in B-flat Major as a charming
showpiece for an unusual combination of
solo instruments — violin, cello, oboe and
bassoon. Bright in spirit and full of wit, this
work will show off the solo skills of four of
the BSO’s talented musicians. Conductor Cristian Măcelaru leads
Elgar’s popular Enigma Variations and
the beautiful Variaciones concertantes,
Argentinian composer Alberto Ginastera’s
most popular work. The program opens
with Jake Heggie’s Moby Dick Suite from
his 2010 opera on Melville’s iconic novel.
Austrian conductor David Danzmayr
leads the Orchestra in Mahler’s Adagio
from Symphony No. 10, the searing first
movement of a symphony he did not
live to finish, as well as Mendelssohn’s
beloved “Scottish” Symphony with its
echoes of folk tunes and evocations of
Highland warriors. Spanish cellist Pablo
Ferrández, a prizewinner of Moscow’s
International Tchaikovsky Competition,
joins the Orchestra for Tchaikovsky’s
Variations on a Rococo Theme.
