May 17: Heroic Performances - Andris Nelsons' Inaugural Concert
"BSO at Home is pleased to offer this very special recording of Andris Nelsons' inaugural performance at Symphony Hall as BSO Music Director.
This wide-ranging one-night-only event celebrates the start of current BSO Music Director Andris Nelsons’ tenure with the orchestra, and features two close colleagues of the conductor as soloists--the acclaimed Latvian soprano Kristine Opolais, and the outstanding German tenor Jonas Kaufmann. Each sings selections from the Wagnerian and Italian verismo repertoires, after which they join forces for a powerful duet from Puccini’s Manon Lescaut.
The concert opens with Wagner’s Tannhauser Overture--the work that first inspired a five-year-old Nelsons to a life in music--and closes with Respighi’s spectacular orchestral showcase, Pines of Rome."
