Ludwig van Beethoven
Egmont Overture, Op. 84
Concerto No. 4 in G major for Piano and Orchestra, Op. 58
Symphony No. 5 in C minor, Op. 67
Brilliant and brazen, Beethoven found ingenious ways to break from the constraints of the formal outlines that were the norm. In the Egmont Overture the innovative composer constructs an unconventional close punctuated by the shimmering sound of the piccolo. Conversely he opens his Piano Concerto No. 4with an atypical, unaccompanied introduction from the piano superbly played by the acclaimed – and unconventional pianist – Awadagin Pratt. An exceptional balance of musical technique and passionate sentiment, Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 is a testament to creative freedom.

Max Bruch - Concerto No. 1 in G minor for Violin and Orchestra, Op. 26
Sergei Prokofiev - Suite from Romeo and Juliet (selections)
The lively clattering of knives, forks, and plates at a wedding celebration resounds in the furious violin lines in Glinka’s Overture to Russlan and Ludmilla, a complex version of the “sleeping beauty” legend. With its airborne excitement and vivid characterization, Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet ballet score powerfully expresses Shakespeare’s tragic tale of star-crossed lovers. The captivating Natasha Korsakova astounds in Bruch’s rich and seductive Violin Concerto No.1, a searing work fueled by the composer’s deepest emotions.

Argentine composer Bacalov captures the magical mood of the film “Il Postino” (The Postman) while Ginastera draws upon the “gauchesco” literacy and dance traditions to portray a “day-in-the-life” of an Argentine ranch.
