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

The orchestra was in particularly fine form. The Brahms Serenade was exquisite--a piece I had never heard before. Anne Sofie von Otter has one of the finest voices singing today.Pitch, phrasing, emotion--she has it all. Check out her Grieg recording and her crossover album w/Elvis Costello and her latest jazz effort!Written on Mar 07 2011

If you ever get a chance to hear Anne Sofie von Otter sing please take it! She doesn't come our way often, and it is a delight to be in the presence of such refined singing.Written on Aug 06 2011

HIndemith exciting but not something I'd want to hear again. von Otter is a fabulous musician but the voice not lush and beautiful. Particularly enjoyed the Brahms.Written on Mar 11 2011

Hindemith was the star of the evening. His "Concert Music for String Orchestra and Brass" was vibrant and multi-hued. Miss von Otter phoned in her performance.Written on Mar 07 2011
