Philadelphia & Tchiakovsky

DSC07395 The Philadelphia Orchestra ended their SPAC season last night with an all-Tchiakovsky concert that was heavy on the crowd-pleasers. After opening with the buoyant Polonaise from Eugene Onegin, newcomer Khatia Buniatishvili gave a smoldering, passionate – and slightly off – performance of the 1st Piano Concerto. The second half of the concert began with the thoroughly enjoyable Fantasy-Overture to Romeo and Juliet, and ended with the 1812 Overture, complete with costumed solidiers shooting cannons into the Adirondack pines. And, yes, once again there were fireworks. More pics below.
