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

EXCELLENT. Brilliant pianist. He plays with such dexterity and feeling. I first heard the 1st on BBC radio around 1950. My older brother was raving about the pianist and the perfection of the music. I re-lived the experience yesterday afternoon... and the beautiful weather in SF. Any seat in Davies is good, just depends on your budget. i always park underneath opposite the front of City hall, not cheap, but saves frustration.Written on Apr 01 2011

The pianist was really terrible. He attacked the piano as if were a wild beast that needed taming. He had no musical sense at all. Members of the orchestra obviously felt the same way.Written on Mar 31 2011
The second half of the program was FABULOUS!

Mr Yundi performed beautifully and it was good to see H. BlomstedtWritten on Apr 01 2011
again as the guest conductor.
the seat was very good and Davis Hall is always a delight , specially
when the music is good.
even people behaved well- no cell phones went off , no one clapped
at the wrong time , most were nicely dresses- to make it a special
time during work week.
I look forward to the next concert.

Yundi Li, piano
San Francisco Symphony
Program:
Tchaikovsky :Piano Concerto No. 1
Sibelius: Symphony No. 2
Herbert Blomstedt leads the San Francisco Symphony through two intensely emotional works. Tchaikovsky’s captivating First Piano Concerto may reference a lost love, while the soaring Second Symphony of Jean Sibelius captures a sense of national pride that made him a Finnish cultural hero.
