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 massive orchestral sound (also capable of true piano), the girls' chorus and women's chorus, the mezzo soloist, K. Karneus, all were well-rehearsed, expressive and technically marvelous....this was a fine performance of a difficult, but achingly beautiful work - all too seldom performed because of the resources it demands.Written on Sep 26 2011
Congratulations to MTT for masterful conducting, in holding together this lengthy masterpiece and making it "sing!"

The SF Symphony is superlative! We are very fortunate to have such a world class arts organization in our city. And, the girls of the SF Girls chorus were, as always, amazing in their poise and artistry.Written on Sep 25 2011

Big, theatrical, wonderful. I found myself loving MTT and the SF Symphony as much as I love Timmy and the Giants. And sitting on the end seat of the first tier was fine. I got to stretch my legs and bounce around.Written on Sep 23 2011

This music seemed to be about all the big things--the meaning of life, the way things work in concert with one another, compassion and interconnectedness, the purpose of heartbreak, and yes . . . So Much More! Gorgeous sound, and MTT seemed like a ballet dancer.Written on Sep 23 2011
