San Francisco Chronicle: Datebook
By Joshua Kosmin
For Beethoven’s Seventh, famously described by Richard Wagner as “the apotheosis of the dance,” Music Director Marc Taddei has programmed “Rissolty Rossolty,” Ruth Crawford Seeger’s ebullient orchestral treatment of American folk tunes. That is supplemented by “Music for Small Orchestra,” another selection from Crawford Seeger’s brilliant and far too small compositional catalog, and Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1, with the acclaimed pianist David Fung as soloist.
