| Delight in Hungarian flair as Maestro Järvi conducts this program of Eastern European themes. Dances of Galánta reflects the rhythmic vitality of Gypsy music, recreating a world of sultry passion and freewheeling jollity. Liszt’s First Piano Concerto, performed by Romanian pianist Mihaela Ursuleasa, will thrill you with its impassioned themes and white-hot virtuosity. Finally, Liszt’s tone poem Les Préludes, an epic musical narrative of heroic conquest, overflows with buoyant energy and triumphant melodies. |

EMANUEL AX piano |
|
|
| |
| Back by popular demand, beloved pianist Emanuel Ax performs music from his native Poland—Chopin’s poignant Second Piano Concerto. Wagner’s Der Ring Des Nibelungen is a magnificent statement of power, drama and nocturnal mystery, a larger-than-life work that plumbs the emotional depths of Norse mythology. Rich orchestral textures are contrasted with moments of transcendent beauty, leaving you with a memorable impression of one of classical music’s most fabled and intriguing composers. |
