On Monday (1/28), some friends and I will be attending the performance of Mariss Jansons and the Concertgebouw Orchestra in SF. The program consists of Strauss's Don Juan and the Mahler 5. Expectations are high, based on Janson's SACD's of Mahler 1 and 6, as well as the last time I saw the orchestra perform live (Mahler 7 with Haitink). It looks from the orchestra's web site as if SF is where the tour kicks off, so I'll try to post some comments later this week.
