CSO at Wheaton: A Little Night Music
Advertisement
Prokofiev’s Symphony-Concerto is a fantastical ride, full of primitive energy and sardonic humor. Alisa Weilerstein shows why The New York Times called her a “profound champion” of this demanding work, who “dispatched every technical test with astonishing ease and visceral joy.” The program’s other musical gem is Robert Schumann’s Fourth Symphony, a memento of his happy marriage to Clara Schumann. Listen for the ardent “Clara” theme that reappears throughout. Eine kleine Nachtmusik reveals Mozart at his most charming.
