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

Great performance. Thank you for making the Symphony affordable. There are a lot of restaurants within a few blocks of the Symphony. Go early, have dinner and enjoy. One of the few places in The City where parking is plentiful.Written on Jan 09 2012

Description
Michael Tilson Thomas, conductor
Christian Tetzlaff, violin
San Francisco Symphony
Program:
Liszt: Prometheus
Ligeti: Violin Concerto
Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 1, Winter Daydreams
Representing the first large-scale work of Tchaikovsky’s career, the Symphony No. 1 pays homage to the sounds he experienced daily in his beloved Russia. Ligeti’s Violin Concerto, however, is a gripping work about loss, memory, and neglect. Tetzlaff displays a “rich, velvety tone and an irresistible sense of line” (The New York Times), and his performance will astound the listener with its virtuosity and boldness of sound.
