Brahms’ wonderful Piano Concerto No.2 is timeless and unforgettable, and acclaimed pianist Inon Barnatan returns to the Town Hall stage for this mountainous work.
Franck’s D minor Symphony, written in the twilight of his career, is a warm-hearted, generous work filled with a profusion of irresistible melodies, while Louise Farrenc — whose long-forgotten music is one of the most interesting musical movements today — offers up a brisk, Schubertian overture to this concert.
