This program is a melting pot of rich, emotion-evoking music. Rediscover the beauty of Saint-Saëns’ Second Piano Concerto with the electrifying Behzod Abduraimov, compared by the London press to the legendary pianist Vladimir Horowitz and current sensation Lang Lang. Then, let yourself be captivated by Strauss’ tone poem describing a romantic vision of old age and death, plus Tchaikovsky’s impassioned take on Shakespeare’s tale of star-crossed lovers. This dramatic program will transport you from the opening notes of the great romantic, Robert Schumann, to a stirring and powerful conclusion. Bravo & Masterworks Series
