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

This was a pretty safe and tame holiday show; a little boring actually. The orchestra, choir, 2 solists, and a handbell choir performed popular songs and pieces. Could hardly hear the handbells although the musicians were grabbing and replacing bells frantically. Made me not want to attend any more holiday concerts this season.Written on Dec 02 2011

The concert was in two parts. First (pre-intermission) focues on more "classical" peieces (e.g., Bach, Handel, Williams). Although the Bach was not my favorite of his works, they were beautiful. Post-intermission comprised more contemporary pieces. ALso enjoyed those. I just wanted more .. but that is my usual feeling at the symphony.Written on Dec 02 2011
