This concert captures the warmth and brilliance of the brilliant conductor, Seiji Ozawa at the festival he created in Japan. The performance is a vibrant celebration of music. The program features two cornerstone works by Beethoven: the exuberant Symphony No. 2 in D major, and the driving, radiant Symphony No. 7 in A major. Both performances reflect Ozawa’s emotionally elegant signature style. Ozawa leads with gentle authority and true to his reputation, performs without a manuscript!
