Overview
After a deep crisis of confidence, Sergei Rachmaninov delivered one of classical music’s most triumphant returns, his Second Symphony, a masterpiece of crackling rhythms and gloriously romantic melodies. A bracing call to attention, Valerie Coleman’s fanfare is “at once reflective and restless, uplifting and ominous” (The New York Times). Former Mead Composer-in-Residence Jessie Montgomery’s Transfigure to Grace is a stirring meditation on humanity’s continuing journey towards equality.
