Review: Symphony Silicon Valley delivers memorable season opener
“…Nelson¹s program also yielded a beautiful orchestral performance of Brahms¹ Fourth. The Scherzo surged with energy, the woodwinds once again coming to the fore; with principal flutist Maria Tamburrino sounding first-rate in the finale¹s lovely flute solo, Nelson brought the performance to a glowing close.”
