Artists and Repertoire: Rafael Payare, conductor Marc-André Hamelin, piano Richard Wagner: Prelude & Liebestod from Tristan und Isolde Franz Liszt: Piano Concerto No. 2 in A Major Johannes Brahms: Symphony No. 1 in C minor, Op. 68 About the program: The exquisitely romantic Second Piano Concerto by Liszt is performed by the great Lisztian, Marc-André Hamelin, whom the New York Times hailed as “A performer of near-superhuman technical prowess.” Music Director Rafael Payare leads the Orchestra in Brahms’ Symphony No. 1, featuring one of the most famous openings in Romantic music, with the deep throbbing bass like a heartbeat, and a great arc of melody rising and falling — it seems so inevitable, so strong a way to begin this symphony.
