The Classical Beat: Tanglewood, Sevenars Offer Culminating Programs

The Classical Beat: Tanglewood, Sevenars Offer Culminating Programs
During this penultimate week of the Tanglewood Music Festival, the spotlight will focus on a wide range of standard repertoire in both the concerto and symphony genres: Mozart piano concerti, performed by the stellar Knights chamber orchestra, with the masterful soloist Emanuel Ax; Prokofiev's brilliant Violin Concerto No. 1, with the luminous Midori as soloist; and for fans of Tchaikovsky, the lushly lyrical Symphony No. 5. Later in the week, don't miss out on Prokofiev's alternatively lyrical, boisterous, majestic and thrilling Symphony No. 5; Beethoven (the joyous and heartfelt Seventh Symphony) and Schumann (the extraordinary Cello Concerto, performed by the great master Yo-Yo Ma) will certainly be high points for listeners. As always, Tanglewood presents a bouquet of musical riches presented in an incomparably bucolic setting. Many of those superlative concerts will reside in our collective memory for a long time.
Here are five special not-to-be- missed highlights, followed by the full listing and extraordinary range of programming to be found in each of Tanglewood's superb venues — the Shed and Ozawa Hall, and including the Tanglewood Learning Center's special lectures during the six-day period from Wednesday, August 14 through Monday, August 19.
Tanglewood Highlights This Week
Chamber orchestra "The Knights" with the magnificent pianist Emanuel Ax performing two Mozart piano concertos each evening (August 14 and 15).

BSO Assistant Conductors Samy Rachid and Earl Lee lead two programs featuring some of the most esteemed soloists of our time. Rachid makes his BSO and Tanglewood marks the debut of the phenomenal violinist Midori in Prokofiev's Violin Concerto No. 1 on a program of Russian masterpieces that includes Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 5 and Evgeny Svetlanov's "Dawn in the Field" (August 16).
Samy Lee conducts the incomparable Yo-Yo Ma in Schumann's Cello Concerto with BSO Composer Chair-designate Carlos Simon's "Fate Now Conquers" and Beethoven's Symphony No. 7 (August 18).
