Saint-Saëns unleashes the grandeur of the pipe organ in a symphony that embraces serenity and scales heights of euphoria. And Brahms’ Violin Concerto — from its pastoral opening to its boisterous finale — is flush with striking lyricism, making it the perfect vehicle for violinist James Ehnes’ “velvety sound and sensitivity” (New York Times).

Gil Shaham ranks among the greatest violinists of our time and brings his captivating talents to the lush melodies and virtuoso fireworks of Tchaikovsky's beloved Violin Concerto. Plus Bruckner’s “Romantic” Symphony evokes a panorama of pastoral landscapes and country festivals.
Composed during a period of emotional upheaval, Schumann’s Second Symphony traces a defiantly joyous journey toward radiant hope. And pianist Tamara Stefanovich dazzles in Hans Abrahamsen’s transfixing Left Alone, a work of fire and ice in which the soloist relies on the virtuosity of their left hand.
