About The Music
Canadian-born conductorJulian Kuerti makes his BSO debut conducting the Boston Symphony Orchestra in Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 5, Emperor joined by pianist Leon Fleisher. The program, which includes Dvořák’s Symphony No. 7 and Knussen’s The Way to Castle Yonder, will be performedat 8 p.m. on Thursday, March 6, Saturday, March 8, Tuesday, March 11 and at 1:30 p.m. on Friday, March 7. In his first season as an assistant conductor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra under the direction of James Levine, Julian Kuerti makes his BSO debut in these concerts.
Beethoven’s magisterial Piano Concerto No. 5 was his last concerto and among his most broadly-conceived and successfully-realized works. It has continued to be a mainstay of the piano repertoire from its earliest performances. The program includes Antonín Dvořák’s great Symphony No. 7, which is reminiscent of Brahm’s Fourth Symphony, as well as the brief and clever The Way to Castle Yonder written by the highly respected British contemporary composer Oliver Knussen from his children’s opera Higglety Piggelty Pop!
