What to listen for
Listeners can expect Saint-Saëns's Cello Concerto No. 1 in A minor, a work that dispenses with a slow opening and launches straight into a restless, searching melody for the soloist. Unlike many concertos of its era, it is played in one continuous span of about 19 minutes rather than three separate movements, with a light, dance-like middle section offering contrast before the drive returns. The rest of the program frames this with Kodály's atmospheric "Summer Evening," a mood piece rich in shifting orchestral color, and Haydn's Symphony No. 104, nicknamed "London," his last symphony and a model of wit, balance, and clean thematic argument. Together the evening moves from a nocturnal tone poem, through a compact virtuosic showcase for cello, to a large-scale classical symphony.
