Robert Spano Conducts Rachmaninoff, Bernstein, and Theofanidis

“The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra sounds simply stunning, with richly detailed strings and smashing wind playing . . . From the opening bars, I love the delicate hesitancy that Spano creates… There’s a breathtaking sense of anticipation and atmosphere that I really appreciate.”—Classical Net

The incomparable Stephen Hough, one of the greatest pianists of our time, returns to Athens with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra for Rachmaninoff’s First Piano Concerto, a dazzler combining ferocious pianism with Hollywood lyricism. ASO Music Director Laureate Robert Spano also makes a welcome return and shines a spotlight on the ASO brass in Leonard Bernstein’s tumultuous Jeremiah Symphony. Based on the Biblical prophet, this modern masterpiece also features the Grammy Award-winning mezzo-soprano Kelley O’Connor.
