New York Philharmonic and Alan Gilbert

The San Francisco Symphony Presents American Orchestras
Music Director Alan Gilbert, the first native New Yorker to lead the New York Philharmonic, conducts this storied ensemble in a program of color masterpieces. Concertmaster Glenn Dicterow performs Bartók’s Violin Concerto No. 1, a work that emerged as a result of Bartok’s great love for a violinist of the time. Gilbert and the Philharmonic also perform two wildly popular works of vivid impressionism and evocative imagery, Debussy’s richly expressive La Mer and Ravel’s stunning La Valse.
