The Concerts
- Rachmaninoff—Symphony No. 2: Shattered by the poor reception of his first symphony, Rachmaninoff slipped into a years-long depression that was only lifted through intensive hypnotherapy. He began work on his second symphony in strict secrecy to keep preemptive criticism at bay, eventually restoring his reputation with the meticulously constructed piece. Highlights include the exuberant second movement, which opens with galloping strings backed by regal peals from the horns.
- Mahler—Symphony No. 3: Performed less than any of Mahler’s other symphonies—perhaps due to its prodigious length and the instrumental force it requires—No. 3 is a one-of-a-kind piece. Traditionally, there’s a beat of silence between the first movement and the following five, which unite the work of Nietzsche, a cheery hymn, and a voluminous, jaw-dropping finale.
