Summary: Listen to the concert preview. The internationally admired Latvian violinist Gidon Kremer joins Spanish conductor and frequent BSO guest Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos in the first of the conductor's two BSO programs this season. Kremer plays the relatively rarely heard Violin Concerto of Robert Schumann, a melodically driven, quintessentially Romantic piece written in Schumann's last productive year of 1853 for Joseph Joachim, the outstanding violinist of the age, who unfortunately never performed it.
