The tumultuous force and vigorous power of Richard Strauss's tribute to the world’s greatest lover is followed by a complete shift in mood as the CSO joins pianist Nikolai Demidenko in a performance of Rachmaninov's Concerto No.2 – one of the great 20th century piano concertos, a work which somehow never loses its grip on audiences. The composer's Second Symphony reflects a mastery of the symphonic form and the ability to use it to convey very human feelings.
