SCHUMANN: Symphony No. 2 in C Major, Op. 61

Spain as evoked by the French composer Chabrier is followed by a lush new piano concerto, written by San Diego Symphony Composer-in-Residence Jimmy López for soloist Javier Perianes and filled with echoes of Latin melodies and dance rhythms. The program ends with Schumann’s magnificent Symphony No. 2, composed at dizzying speed after the composer’s recovery from an illness, and shot through with an exuberant love of life and energetic overflowing melodies.
