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

Fabulous concert and the symphony even did an additional piece at the end. Too bad it was not sold out as those who missed this concert really missed a rare treat.Written on Jul 22 2011

This was a fun event. The seats from Goldstar were great, and the "classics" series was great for a non-classical music officianado, to hear some "greatest hits." There was also fun live music in the lobby beforehand - lots of people were dancing the swing/old standards being played which was cute.Written on Jul 22 2011

San Francisco Symphony
Tchaikovsky: Romeo and Juliet Fantasy-Overture
Tchaikovsky: Variations on a Rococo Theme for Cello and Orchestra
Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 4
Intensity. Passion. Beauty. Drama. Listeners will be treated to all these and more in this showcase of Tchaikovsky’s music. Opening the program is the heart-wrenching Romeo and Juliet Fantasy-Overture, which is surely the very sound of longing. The elegant Variations on a Rococo Theme for Cello and Orchestra reveals a more reserved Tchaikovsky, while the Fourth Symphony is Tchaikovsky at his most forceful, where his internal torment finally surges into his music.
