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

Really enjoyed Dutoit's conducting of the Berlioz. Didn't love the Dutilleux piece, but Capuçon certainly executed it well. As always, I appreciate the availability of these tickets on Goldstar.Written on Apr 18 2011

Excellent program with a wonderful conductor and orchestra, and soloist. The opportunity to attend varied symphony programs at half price through Goldstar is something that I appreciate very, very much.Written on Apr 18 2011

The talk at 7 was very good, one of the better ones. Dutoit was amazing in what he got out of the orchestra, especially the percussion. I was very impressed by Capucon, and the Dutilleux piece which I had not heard. I plan to buy a Capucon CD. A very enjoyable evening, and wonderful seats in the second row.Written on Apr 18 2011

Description
Charles Dutoit, conductor
Gautier Capuçon, cello
San Francisco Symphony
Charles Dutoit conducts the San Francisco Symphony with music by two orchestral luminaries. Henri Dutilleux’s cello concerto Tout un monde lointain makes ingenious use of the orchestra’s kaleidoscope of timbres, while Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastique demonstrates the groundbreaking approach to orchestration that provided a model for the late Romantic generation.
