Bartók: The Wooden Prince
Cellist Yo-Yo Ma, masterful in any repertoire, performs the powerful Cello
Concerto by Antonín Dvořák, a piece the Czech composer began during his
sojourn in the United States in the mid-1890s. Making his subscription series
debut leading Ma and the orchestra in this program is Spanish conductor Juanjo
Mena, who led works of Berg, Strauss, and Mahler in his BSO debut at Tanglewood
in July 2010. He also conducts a rarity, Bartók's score to the folk-tale ballet
The Wooden Prince, one of the composer's three great, orchestrally thrilling
stage works from the 1910s.
