Dallas Symphony Orchestra, in something of a reverse sequel to last year’s performance of his Piano Concerto No. 2, presents Brahms’ grand Piano Concerto No. 1. Undoubtedly, the composition deserves a mighty player, and in the robust Yefim Bronfman the work finds a fitting suitor. Beautiful and subtle one moment, fierce and thundering the next, Brahms first large-scale orchestral composition is an elegant, variegated goliath from volcanic start to sweeping finish. Intermission’s silence is broken by Richard Strauss’ oft-sneering Ein Heldenleben (A Hero’s Life), a glowing exhibition which celebrates Strauss’ own genius as much as the glory––and tribulation––of archetypal heroism. Performances take place February 12-14 at 7:30 pm, and Sunday February 15 at 2:30 pm. Jaap van Zweden conducts. Tickets start as low as $19. More information at mydso.com.
Saturdays, 7:30 p.m.; Sun., Feb. 15, 2:30 p.m. Starts: Feb. 14. Continues through Feb. 15, 2015
