Having earned consistent acclaim for her appearances with the BSO at Symphony Hall (April 2022) and Tanglewood (summer 2021 and 2022), BSO Assistant Conductor Anna Rakitina returns to lead the BSO in a program that begins with the orchestral suite drawn from Russian-born British composer Elena Langer’s 2016 opera Figaro Gets a Divorce—featuring music that is by turns mysterious, songful, and jazzy. Inon Barnatan is the soloist in Rachmaninoff’s final work for piano and orchestra, the Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini. Structured as a set of 24 variations on the last of Paganini's Caprices for solo violin, the work contains Rachmaninoff’s most famous melody, the ultra-romantic 18th variation. Ending the concert is Mussorgsky’s colorful Pictures at an Exhibition in its most popular iteration, Ravel’s version for orchestra.
