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

Overture to Alfonso und Estrella- did not care for this melodramatic, lots of crescendos.Written on Nov 14 2011
Quintet in A Major was lovely. I think this type of arrangement shows Shubert's genius.
Quartet in D minor-good arrangement but I'd like to have heard original chamber music form.

The symphony was absolutely fantastic! The pieces were amazing and it was great to be there. The only downside was that our premier second tier seats put us in the absolute last row. This would n't have been so bad (great view) if the people around us had been more serious symphony-goers. We ended up next to a man and child who talked throughout the performance. So, the symphony was amazing, but this is definitely something to consider if these are the seats you are thinking about.Written on Nov 14 2011

Beautiful, moving music by a world-class orchestra. Bart is a good transportation solution. Westfield center food court is a 10 minute walk away.Written on Nov 14 2011
