BARBER Capricorn Concerto, Op. 21
HAYDN Symphony No. 80 in D minor
A stirring, deeply fascinating Frank Martin work makes a strong case for this 20th-century Swiss master’s wider renown, before Riverside Symphony principals take center stage in American composer Samuel Barber’s lyrically inventive concertino. A little known Haydn symphony reveals the unsurpassed genius and heart of this timeless musical deity.
