Thomas Rolfs is the soloist in Detlev Glanert’s eclectic and dramatic Trumpet Concerto, and Andris Nelsons conducts the Boston Symphony in works by Gubaidulina and Prokofiev.
The perspective of this photo is from the risers on stage. You see what the H+H Chorus members see: other singers surround you with black binders full of sheet music, Harry Christophers conducts you from an otherwise empty stage, and a sea of audience members stretch back into the darkness of Symphony Hall. This concert appears to be completely sold out.
On WCRB In Concert with the Handel and Haydn Society, mystically beautiful works by Hildegard von Bingen and Raffaela Aleotti are framed by Haydn's Symphony No. 49 and Mozart's "Coronation" Mass.
