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

This woman phoned in the concert. When it suited her she slowed down, mostly for difficult parts. Other places she totally fluffed her way through, dropping notes, muddying the work to disguise her performance. It is the worst ever concert I have ever heard at Davies.Written on Apr 05 2011
