Michael Stern brings the classical season to a dramatic conclusion with Beethoven’s regal third piano concerto, showcasing the exceptional talent of guest pianist Jonathan Biss. Symphonie fantastique – Hector Berlioz’ revolutionary musical embodiment of the supreme love of his life concludes a varied and inspired season. |
I have the Berlioz on vinyl … somewhere. Haven’t listened to it in awhile. For the most part, the 19th century is musica incognita for me, classically speaking.
The KC Symphony is one of the big city perks we’ll miss in Iowa.
