MACDOWELL Piano Concerto No. 2

GILBERT VARGA CONDUCTOR

ANDRÉ WATTS PIANO

Explore the romanticism in Tchaikovsky’s unforgettable Romeo and Juliet Overture, Wagner’s transcendent Prelude and Liebestod to his opera Tristan und Isolde, and Franck’s symphonic poem Psyché et Eros, based on the Greek myth. These famous love tragedies will have you spellbound. MacDowell’s Second Piano Concerto featuring André Watts takes us in a new direction, with a work which is quintessentially American, but laced with European romanticism.
