Tchaikovsky: Elegy for String Orchestra. Dvořák: Cello Concerto in B minor, Op. 104. Cello: Segey Antonov. Shostakovich: Symphony No. 9 in E-flat major, Op. 70.The most enjoyable is the two encores. First a jazz piece, then a dancing and bouncy work. Fun and joyful. Pletnev is succinct and efficient, wearing something looking awfully like the Mao suit, just less pockets. At least two of the Seattle Symphony violinists joined the orchestra on stage tonight.
