We begin the season with Brahms's Piano Concerto No. 1 with soloist and friend of the Boston Philharmonic, pianist Alessandro Deljavan. He made his Boston debut with the Boston Philharmonic in 2019, playing Brahms's Piano Concerto No. 2.
The Boston Globe praised his Boston debut: "Deljavan’s playing is tumultuous and impulsive...He was at his best in the Andante, where, after a songful cello solo from Rafael Popper-Keizer, he sustained a melting meditation, some romantic frustration, and finally a dreamy reverie. And he had enough gas left in the technical tank to power through Chopin’s “Revolutionary” Étude as an encore." -Jeffrey Gantz
And then on to the Brahms's First Symphony – possibly the most completely accomplished and mature first symphony ever written by anybody. Brahms was an ultimate musical craftsman and ruthlessly self-critical, and the relatively high opus number of his symphony – 68 – is an indication of how seriously he took the daunting prospect of writing a symphony in the shadow of Beethoven. The profound drama of the first movement, the ineffable beauty of the slow movement, and the radiant grandeur of the finale attest to the utter mastery that Brahms had attained by the age of 43. He had been wise to wait.
