Of course, no 4th of July concert at Tanglewood is complete without Fireworks. This year's display was colorful as ever. A splendid finish to a crowd-pleasing evening.
Mother Nature's good mood held for the next day's first program of The Boston Symphony Orchestra's 2013 season at Tanglewood. Annother crowd pleaser, this one an All-Tchaikovsky evning with Joshua Bell giving a stirring rendition of the composer's violin concerto. It's hard to believe that this marked the charismatic Bell's 25th consecutive summer at Tanglewood. Wasn't he a budding prodigy just yesterday?
Popular guest conductor Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos was at the helm, following the Bell solo with a rousing Symphony No. 5.
