About the Music

BSO Conductor Emeritus Bernard Haitink returns for the final two weeks of the 2009-10 season to lead Greek-born violinist Leonidas Kavakos and the BSO in Mozart’s Violin Concerto No. 5, the last and heftiest of the composer’s concertos for the instrument. Mozart composed what was to become the vigorous Haffner Symphony as a six-movement serenade for the Haffner family, later extracting four movements to make a symphony for performance in Vienna. Richard Strauss’s Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme Suite assembles incidental music written in 1912 for a collaboration with Hugo von Hofmannsthal involving Molière’s 1670 play of the same name.
