Boston Classical Review: Zander, Boston Phil bring fresh insights to Bartok, Brahms and Beethoven
"...in sharing the Symphony Hall stage with violinist Guy Braunstein, Zander had an ideal partner with whom to explore all of the score’s ebbs and flows. Back exactly one year after his debut with the BPO last year, the former Berlin Philharmonic concertmaster brought warmth and flexibility to his big first-movement solos...the Adagio sang with enchanting sweetness, Peggy Pearson’s oboe solos twining alluringly with Braunstein’s soaring lines. The finale, though a touch heavy-footed, brought the proceedings to a romping, zesty close." -Jonathan Blumhofer. Read the full review on Boston Classical Review.
