Sibelius, Rachmaninoff and Ives
March 5-7, & 10

About The Music
BSO
BSO
American conductor Alan Gilbert, who becomes music director of the New York Philharmonic in 2009-10, leads English pianist Stephen Hough in Rachmaninoff's brilliant and poetic Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini. Receiving a rare BSO performance is Charles Ives's epic Symphony No. 4, a work of great originality and a virtual autobiography of Ives's musical experience. Opening the program is Sibelius's short tone poem Night Ride and Sunrise (1908), not played by the BSO since 1918.
