Edo de Waart Conducts Saint-Saëns at Davies Symphony Hall

- $44.00 - $85.00
- Our Price:
- $22.00 - $42.50
Former music director Edo de Waart returns to perform with the San Francisco Symphony for the first time since 1997. The evening begins with an introduction to the music of Franz Schreker, an Austrian opera composer whose music combines the stylistic traits of several artistic movements and whose immersive scores are cinematic in their ability to draw the listener into the story. This innovative and once-obscure composer has seen a revival in popularity in recent years. The program also includes Rachmaninoff's sophisticated and modern Fourth Piano Concerto and the thundering Organ Symphony of Camille Saint-Saëns, his last and most dramatic symphonic work. Learn More

A few weeks ago I sang the praises of Julia Fischer's Brahms Viloin Concerto on Pentatone (not to mention the Double Concerto on the same disc). At the time I did not realize that I would have the coveted opportunity to see Fischer in person. Well, this evening I did just that at Davies Hall San Francisco. She played as part of two Schubert compositions, the Sonata in A minor and the marquee Quintet in A major, "Trout". The Schumann "Fantasiestucke for Clarinet and Piano" was the first performance).Written on Jun 08 2009
The Sonata, was certainly "pleasant" enough, but who are we fooling? It was the "Trout" that the largely sold out crowd came to see and hear. And Fischer and her quintet partners responded in a most scintillating way. I'm not learned in chamber music enough to "rate" the performance, so I will defer to the audience which responded with a standing applause that while not unbounded, was enthusiastic, unusually sustained and relentless in demand for at least 4 return bows by the performers.
Can anyone recommend an outstanding "Trout" on SACD?
P.S. During intermission, on a whim, I purchased Gordon Getty's "Young America", a San Francisco Symphony and Chorus Pentatone SACD that I did not know existed.
