Boston Symphony Orchestra
Michael Tilson Thomas, conductor
Repertoire
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 1 in G minor, Op. 13 (“Winter Dreams”)
Claude Debussy: Images for Orchestra
There is no doubt that Michael Tilson Thomas’s approach matches Tchaikovsky’s sub-title. The freshness of the opening […] is matched by the poetic feeling of the slow movement, the opening superbly atmospheric. As shaped by Thomas the main tune shows a haunting Russian melancholy which catches the music’s spirit to great effect.Penguin Guide
