Between John Adams’s Chairman Dances and Harmonielehre, Yo-yo Ma gives the European premiere of Esa-pekka Salonen’s new Cello Concerto, capping a three-concert Barbican residency during which Alan

Gilbert and the New York Philharmonic take a walk on the 19th-century wild side with Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastique, and make illuminating bedfellows of Bartók and Mahler.
