Nothing on the turntable, resorted to the Philadelphia Orchestra, with Christoph Eschenbach conducting, live at the Kimmel Center:

Smetana: Dances from the Bartered Bride
Grieg: Five Orchestral Songs (with Barbara Bonney, soprano)
Dvorak: Symphony No. 7

Well played tonight! Some of the best music making we've yet heard Eschenbach and the Orchestra make together since his arrival as music director. (OK, the Mahler 9th a few weeks ago was pretty good, too.) Barbara Bonney was in great voice on the Grieg songs. One of those concerts you just don't want to end...

And the Curtis Institute of Music students return from spring break next week with a full slate of free evening recitals - oh, that music lovers can be so lucky!
