About the Music

American composer Michael Gandolfi’s The Garden of Cosmic Speculation, commissioned by the BSO, takes its title from a book by architect Charles Jencks, a photo essay about a Scottish garden Jencks designed. Also on the program is the French composer Francis Poulenc’s Concerto for Organ, Timpani, and Strings, a 1938 score here featuring the great English organist Simon Preston. Tchaikovsky’s emotionally intense Symphony No. 6 is a cornerstone of the late Romantic orchestral repertoire.
