Brian Wilson performing Pet Sounds on Tanglewood schedule June 19, 2016[/caption]Brian Wilson is scheduled to perform Pet Sounds at Tanglewood on Sunday, June 19, 2016. Pet Sounds is the 1966 album that Wilson wrote and produced for the Beach Boys and which was ranked the 2nd best album by Rolling Stone. Beach Boy singer Mike Love, who appeared at Tanglewood in 2014 with a version of the band that didn’t inlude Wilson, is reported to have said “Who’s gonna hear this shit?” when Wilson turned him on to the material that would become the album. Although it wasn’t critically esteemed when it was released, the album has acheived almnost sacred status in the succeeding decades. Hit singles from the album include Wouldn’t It Be Nice, Caroline No, and the very cool Sloop John B.

This is a most welcome addition to the popular artists part of the 2016 Tanglewood schedule, which already included performances by Chris Botti on June 24, A Prairuie Home Companion, with Garrison Keillor on June 25, James Taylor on July 4 & 5, the Chich Corea Trio on Julky 31, and Silk Road ensemble with Yo Yo Ma on Aug. 7.

BSO names replacements for James Levine

The schedule of the Boston Symphony Orchestra’s 2011 Tanglewood season has been revised with the naming of 5 conductors to replace James Levine, who withdrew from all of his scheduled Tanglewood appearances on the advice of his doctors. Charles Dutoit will lead the BSO’s July 8 Opening Night Gala Concert—an all-Italian program with excerpts from Bellini’s Norma and Verdi’s I lombardi, plus music of Rossini and Respighi—and the BSO’s July 9 performance of Berlioz’s Requiem.

Making his BSO debut, Finnish conductor John Storgaards, Chief Conductor of the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra, will lead the July 16 all-Sibelius program with featuring Nikolaj Znaider in the composer’s Violin Concerto. French conductor Emmanuel Krivine will lead the July 24 all-Ravel program featuring pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet in both the Piano Concerto in G and Concerto for the Left Hand 24. Hans Graf, Music Director of the Houston Symphony, will conduct Mahler’s Symphony No. 5 on a program with Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 12 in A, K.414, with soloist Leon Fleisher, on July 29.

In addition, the esteemed Spanish conductor Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos—who was already scheduled at Tanglewood to conduct the BSO on August 5 and 12, and the Tanglewood Music Center Orchestra on August 14—and TMC faculty conductor Stefan Asbury will now take the podium for the gala Tanglewood on Parade concert on the evening of August 2, joining the originally scheduled conductors Christoph Eschenbach and John Williams.
