Concert Review: Boston Philharmonic Youth Orchestra at Symphony Hall

The Boston Philharmonic Youth Orchestra’s first appearance of the season presented canonical selections without a hint of complacency or apathy.

Concert Review: Boston Philharmonic plays Beethoven and Rachmaninoff

Concert Review: Boston Philharmonic plays Beethoven and Rachmaninoff

Violinist Liza Ferschtman and the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra’s account of Beethoven’s Violin Concerto lacked nothing for momentum and spirit.

Concert Review: Boston Philharmonic plays Mozart, Brahms, and Bartók

Concert Review: Boston Philharmonic plays Mozart, Brahms, and Bartók

Arts Commentary: Some Thoughts on the Boston Philharmonic Youth Orchestra’s 2019 Brazilian Tour

Arts Commentary: Some Thoughts on the Boston Philharmonic Youth Orchestra’s 2019 Brazilian Tour

Suffice it to say, the tour was an extraordinary experience, musically and culturally, and, for me, a conspicuously potent introduction to a new continent.

Classical Music Review: The Boston Philharmonic Youth Orchestra in Brazil, Part One

Classical Music Review: The Boston Philharmonic Youth Orchestra in Brazil, Part One

The BPYO’s repertoire in Brazil is drawn from last year’s programs and is built around Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto no. 2.

Concert Music Review: The Boston Philharmonic plays Ives and Mahler

Concert Music Review: The Boston Philharmonic plays Ives and Mahler

This performance of Ives’ Third was the most welcome entry in the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra’s celebratory season – a beautifully considered, powerfully rendered account of this too-neglected score.

Classical CD Reviews: François-Xavier Roth conducts Mahler 3 and Benjamin Zander conducts Mahler 9

Classical CD Reviews: François-Xavier Roth conducts Mahler 3 and Benjamin Zander conducts Mahler 9

Benjamin Zander conducts a conspicuously fine Mahler Nine; François-Xavier Roth’s new account of Mahler’s Symphony no. 3 proffers nothing particularly special.

Concert Review: Boston Philharmonic Youth Orchestra plays Britten, Schwantner, and Holst

Concert Review: Boston Philharmonic Youth Orchestra plays Britten, Schwantner, and Holst

This Sunday’s BPYO concert tied together a number of highly personal strands, presenting music connected to two of conductor Benjamin Zander’s mentors — Benjamin Britten and Gustav Holst.

Classical Concert Review: The Boston Philharmonic Orchestra Plays Beethoven

Classical Concert Review: The Boston Philharmonic Orchestra Plays Beethoven

Bread-and-butter of the orchestral repertoire though this music may be, there was no complacency to be heard in the orchestra’s playing of it.

Concert Review: Boston Philharmonic Youth Orchestra at Symphony Hall

Concert Review: Boston Philharmonic Youth Orchestra at Symphony Hall

Without question, this BPYO rendition of Shostakovich Ten was one of the most urgent and necessary of any symphonic score I’ve heard all year.
