The Recording Legacy of the Boston Symphony Orchestra

Published January 6, 2024 at 8:00 PM EST
An aerial shot of Symphony Hall. It's a old-fashioned brick building with eight white pillars in the front. The sky is pink and blue as the sun sets, and the streets around the building glow with city lights and the blur of traffic.
