Stephen Hough, “one of the finest pianists of the age” (St. Louis Post-Dispatch), returns to perform Rachmaninoff’s boldly romantic Piano Concerto No. 1. Preceding it is a newly discovered gem by the young Stravinsky, Funeral Song, composed and performed only once before becoming lost for over a century. It was written just before his first big success, the colorful, hugely imaginative score for the ballet The Firebird.
Try not to smile at the unparalleled genius of Mozart and Haydn on this program of Classical-era masterpieces. Haydn’s charming and unpredictable Symphony No. 99 shares the stage with two important works by Mozart, the surprisingly mature “Jeunehomme” concerto and Eine kleine Nachtmusik, a piece as popular as any in the repertoire.
Immerse yourself in Bernstein’s startling and still timely portrait of modern uncertainty, Symphony No. 2 “Age of Anxiety,” when pianist Conrad Tao, “a thoughtful artist and dynamic performer” (The New York Times), returns to Utah for a celebration of Bernstein’s 100th birthday. The program begins with Saint-Saëns’ bone-rattling Danse macabre and his precocious Symphony No. 1.
