(world premiere; BSO co-commission)
BEETHOVEN Symphony No. 6, Pastoral


American cellist Alisa Weilerstein joins French conductor François-Xavier Roth for the world premiere of the BSO-commissioned Cello Concerto by German composer Matthias Pintscher, with whom Weilerstein has collaborated in the past. Pintscher, also a noted conductor, is a major figure in classical music in both Europe and the U.S. Opening the program is Hector Berlioz’s alternately romantic and swashbuckling Le Corsaire Overture, which, as was often the composer’s practice, took shape from earlier sketches. The title is an incidental reference to James Fenimore Cooper’s The Red Rover (“Le Corsaire rouge”). Beethoven’s Symphony No. 6, Pastoral, is his only explicitly programmatic symphony, a fundamentally cheerful work illustrating a sojourn in the countryside.
