- Our Price:
- $22.00 - $42.50
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

A wonderful afternoon...great music and a good crowd appreciating it. The pianist was outstanding. SF has a gem in its symphony orchestra. Also, the music at the pre-concert reception had us all swinging with a smile.Written on Jul 18 2011

The symphony summer series is great. I took my father who needed handicapped seating. The people at Goldstar make arrangements and were very gracious. Davis Hall is very handicapped friendly. The Mozart pieces were great.Written on Jul 19 2011

Talented pianist and conductor. Pre-concert Reception was misleading. Music prior to the performance was pleasant but can't figure out where the "reception" was?? Cost $29 for a wrap and boxed salad plus water and coke. Eat beforehand!!Written on Jul 18 2011

Description
Michael Francis, conductor
Gilles Vonsattel, piano
San Francisco Symphony
Mozart: Overture to Don Giovanni
Mozart: Piano Concerto No. 20 in D minor
Mozart: Symphony No. 41, Jupiter
The music that streamed from Mozart’s mind is, in a single word, perfect. The overture from Don Giovanni encapsulates the masterful portrayal of mirth, melodrama, and the supernatural that is this operatic masterpiece. Elegant pianist Gilles Vonsattel makes his SFS debut in the Piano Concerto No. 20, with its moods both dark and happy. Finally, all the otherworldly ability that Mozart possessed was brought to bear in the Jupiter Symphony, the final symphony he produced.
