The Boston Symphony Orchestra under Sergei Koussevitzky performed April Ninth with Bach Brandenburg Concerto No. 2 and a piano concerto in D minor, followed by Brahms First Symphony.

Borovsky offered an exquisite Bach piano concerto, but the Brahms rendering drew sharp critique.
The final Carnegie Hall recital on April 7 marks the end of Iturbi’s brilliant U S career season.
