Conductor David Robertson, of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra and BBC Symphony Orchestra leads the San Francisco Symphony in a program of great contrasts. The evening begins with a bang, as Rossini's Overture to L'Italiana in Algeri starts things off. This widely recorded and performed piece opens slowly, leading up to a joyous burst of music. Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 2 follows, showing off the bold and colorful style of the composer's youthful pieces. Dvořák's Symphony No. 7 closes out the evening. This complex piece combines intense calm and peacefulness with moments of intense turmoil and is one of the works that best embodies the spirit of its composer. Learn More

Both the pre-concert talk and the Mozart performances were outstanding. The program presented early compositions by Mozart, some of which are seldom heard and quite beautiful to listen to, realizing that the composer was 18 and 19 years old at the time. THe conductor, the orchestra members and the guest pianist were a great pleasure to hear and observe.Written on Feb 21 2011
