Thu 13 Mar 2008 2:15pm at Symphony Hall
Making a welcome return to the CBSO, Tadaaki Otaka follows his gripping
performance of Rachmaninov’s Second Symphony three years ago with the same composer’s final symphony, an equally luscious masterpiece written during his time in America. Rachmaninov’s sophisticated writing for the velvety strings of the Philadelphia Orchestra finds an English counterpart in Vaughan Williams’s timeless meditation on Tallis’s hymn tune. Following this, one of today’s best-loved string players gives us her account of Mendelssohn’s spirited concerto.
