The rich diversity of music found in the two Americas, North and South, is distilled into this perfect program featuring music by both North and South American master composers. American Jeffery Mumford’s cello concerto played by Christine Lamprea follows Tango genius Astor Piazzolla’s Tangazo subtitled “variations on Buenos Aires,” an evocative ode to the sensual Argentine city. Leonard Bernstein’s Divertimento is a rollicking tribute to his own native city and its own venerable Boston Symphony Orchestra. John Adams’s El Dorado connects the long musical road between North and South with dazzling orchestral virtuosity.
