Honeck & Beethoven’s Fifth
Manfred Honeck, conductor; Yuja Wang, piano. Gandolfi: Selections from The Garden of Cosmic Speculation; Rachmaninoff: Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini; Beethoven: Symphony No. 5. The Garden of Cosmic Speculation is a colorful and dynamic piece inspired by a dazzling garden in Scotland based on patterns found in nature, physics and mathematics. Rhapsody, based on Paganini’s well-known Violin Caprice No. 24, is one of Rachmaninoff’s most popular and virtuosic compositions. Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony may be the most famous piece of music ever written. Every note, from the recognizable opening theme to the regal finale, will have you on the edge of your seat.
