interval
Rachmaninov Symphony No.3 (c. 42 mins)
Liya Petrova violin
Delyana Lazarova conductor
New worlds, new wonders. At the threshold of the twentieth century, Debussy dreamed of a realm of pure poetry, in a Prélude whose sensuality and warmth sent shivers of unexpected pleasure through western music. But as the century unfolded, countless composers were forced into exile in America: embracing (or resisting) the rhythms of jazz, the energy of modern life and the lush sounds of Hollywood. Today, Principal Guest Conductor Delyana Lazarova presents two great songs of exile and nostalgia. Rachmaninov’s Third Symphony glimmers with passion, yet conceals a profound sense of loss. And Korngold’s Violin Concerto dreams of Vienna under blue Californian skies: a stunning showcase for the “gorgeous, silvery” tone (The Times) of violinist Liya Petrova.
