The tiny repertoire of concertos for timpani is boosted by what will undoubtedly prove a demanding and illustrious addition from award-winning New Zealand composer John Psathas. Mozart's popular Piano Concerto in A major, K 488, from the mid-1780s Marriage of Figaro era, communicates joy tinged with sadness, that perennial human condition. After an aborted 1905 revolution in Russia, Rachmaninov escaped to the stability offered by Dresden. The Second Symphony, the most expansive and, due to its lyrical emotion, best loved of the three was the first work composed there in 1906.
