This past weekend’s Boston Philharmonic Orchestra performances paired the refinement of Beethoven's Triple Concerto with the existential confrontation of Bruckner's Ninth.

 

“Boston can take unequivocal pride in such a good orchestra, so well led by one who gives this difficult music the understanding it deserves.”

“The players delivered the edge so essential to Beethoven’s music, yet they could come away from that intensity when called upon to perform phrases of silvery lyricism. Theirs was a colorful rendition of the score.”

"Zander conveyed the lulling tenderness of the first movement’s cradle-song second subject, the obsessive mystery of its ostinato-racked third theme, and the hysteria of Bruckner’s counting mania."
