Xuefei Yang is a truly accomplished guitarist and complimented the Orchestra on the Rodrigo's "Concierto de Aranjuez" . The second and third movements were especially entertaining. We were seated in the third row directly in front (less than 20') of Yang so we could see and hear her very clearly.
Although the first movement of Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 5 is a bit disjointed for my tastes as a whole it is an excellent piece. As you know the finale is exciting and Ms. Carneiro pulled everything out of the orchestra for the rousing finish.

Thanks for posting Jim!
I hadn't heard from Golijov before.
