Article updated August 21, 2018 by Dave Read The Sunday afternoon (Aug. 19) program on the Boston Symphony Orchestra’s 2018 Tanglewood calendar has loomed in anticipation since I filled out my summer concert list months ago, especially because of the rarity of the Bernstein selection, Three Meditations from Mass, for cello and orchestra, which has […]

Article updated July 17, 2018 by Dave Read Attending the Sunday afternoon (July 15, 2018) program in the Koussevitsky Music Shed at Tanglewood was no easy matter; every bit of it commanded your attention, from Mendelssohn’s beautifully familiar Italian symphony, through Yuja Wang’s dazzling performance of Beethoven’s 1st piano concerto, to the how-fit-in-these-fraught-times composition from […]
