Rachmaninoff - Piano Concerto No. 3
Often called the Mt. Everest of the repertoire, it is one of the most technically demanding and musically rewarding works for the piano. Stephen Hough returns to Utah as soloist on Rachmaninoff's epic 3rd Piano Concerto, a work that strikes fear in the heart of many aspiring pianists. Guest Conductor Mark Wigglesworth also leads the orchestra on Wagner's heroic Prelude to Die Meistersinger and Elgar's mysterious musical dedication to his closest friends, the brilliant and virtuosic Enigma Variations.
