Description
Program Description
"Some of the world's most highly acclaimed classical music performers celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. This program allowed a broad American audience to join in the birthday celebration, and shared the universal language of music with several European countries via satellite. Conducted by Music Director, Seiji Ozawa, the orchestra performs Beethoven's Consecration of the House Overture; the Vivaldi Concerto in D for Two Violins with Itzhak Perlman and Isaac Stern; Haydn's Concerto in C for Cello with Mstislav Rostropovich; arias from Verdi's IL TROVATORE and Strauss THE EGYPTIAN HELEN by Leontyne Price; and Beethoven's Fantasia in C minor for Piano, Chorus, and Orchestra featuring Rudolf Serkin and the Tanglewood Festival Chorus. The evening concludes with the Finale from Bartok's Concerto for Orchestra. Itzhak Perlman is host for the program which includes interviews with several of the soloists and segments on the history of the Boston Symphony Orchestra"--1981 Peabody Awards entry form.
