Composer Sergei Rachmaninoff once declared, “I try to make my music speak simply and directly that which is in my heart.” Rachmaninoff’s ravishing Second Symphony is one of his most passionate works. This concert also features Liszt’s Second Piano Concerto. It is virtuosity personified. Piano playing that is dazzling when heard. And unbelievable when it can be seen.
