National Symphony Orchestra season points to a promising start for its new conductor

Christoph Eschenbach is starting his National Symphony Orchestra tenure with a bit of a bang. His inaugural season bears a personal stamp, and a good balance of repertory standards (all of Beethoven's piano concertos) and new works (a world premiere by Peter Lieberson for the 50th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy's inauguration). It also offers big-name soloists who have long-standing professional relationships with the conductor -- Renee Fleming, Lang Lang, Christian Tetzlaff, Gil Shaham, Radu Lupu -- and who offered personal statements, for the brochure, about how much they love him. It's a nice touch.

Joshua Bell is a rock star. If his name sounds familiar, it's probably because this violin virtuoso - who famously got his start as a 14-year-old soloist with the Philadelphia Orchestra conducted by Riccardo Muti - has shared the stage with Sting and the big screen with Meryl Streep.
