    Guest artist: Young clarinetist Jose Franch-Ballester, who first played for the BSO audience in October 2009, returns this fall for a performance of Carl von Weber’s first clarinet concerto, a 19th century gem that’s still a vital part of the modern orchestra repertory. A native of Moncofa, Spain, Franch-Ballester was a 2008 recipient of a highly coveted Avery Fisher Career Grant. The New York Times has described him as “a natural onstage … [playing] with technical wizardry and tireless enthusiasm.”

    Among the great composers of the early to late Romantic period, two men rose to prominence not only for the brilliance of their music, but for the fact that they were brilliant at every form of music they set their hand to. The Russian Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and the German Carl Maria won Weber wrote some of the most magnificent symphonies, operas, concertos and songs the world has ever heard.
