Andris Nelsons conducts Beethoven, Mozart, Maskats, and Strauss with Rudolf Buchbinder, piano by Beethoven, Mozart, Maskats, Strauss, Fra (2023/2023), Dirigent Andris Nelsons, Boston Symphony Hall, Boston, United States

Ludwig van Beethoven’s masterful Consecration of the House Overture raises the curtain on our season. Soloist Rudolf Buchbinder joins music director Andris Nelsons for Wolfgang Mozart’s light and lyrical Piano Concerto No. 23; Latvian composer Arturs Maskats’ Tango, a rich orchestral tribute to the dance, follows. The program closes with the theme from Richard Strauss’s 1911 opera Der Rosenkavalier, another lilting waltz that lovingly evokes the grace and elegance of Mozart’s years in Vienna.
