Sit back and enjoy the exhilarating emotional journey and melodic brilliance of Tchaikovsky\u2019s Fifth. Thomas Ad\u00e8s\u2019 new concerto \u2013 described as a successor to Gershwin\u2019s Rhapsody in Blue by The<\/em> Boston Globe <\/em>\u2013 will be delectable in the hands of his longtime friend Kirill Gerstein. Lithuanian composer Raminta \u0160erk\u0161nyt? opens the program with her blazing evocation of the power of fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This one hurts! First of all, it’s been quite a long time since I’ve played Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony on a subscription concert (we did a big chunk of it on one of our [classical composer] vs. [non-classical composer\/artist]<\/a> a while ago1<\/a><\/sup>, but I really do have a soft spot in my heart for this piece. And with our phenomenal new principal horn Jeff Garza, it would be a magical slow movement horn solo for sure. There would have been a work by a female composer – I’m not at all familiar with her output, I’m going to have to explore that – and that’s a really good thing, too. To top it all off, a new piano concerto by Thomas Ad\u00e9s, which would have been fiendishly difficult for all involved (as I remember his violin concerto Concentric Paths<\/em> to be!), played by the inimitable Kirill Gernstein. Yep, this would have been an enjoyable week. Damn pandemic!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
