Composed during a tumultuous period in his life, the great Romantic composer Robert Schumann’s Second Symphony is a musical journey, as he called it, “of many joys and sorrows.” Principal Guest Conductor Marin Alsop leads this beautiful masterwork, on a program with Rachmaninoff’s blazing Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini*, performed by a pianist of “enchanting, sensitive lyricism” (The Jerusalem Post).
