Corigliano - Voyage
Bruch - Violin Concerto in G minor, soloist Mark Kaplan
Beethoven - Symphony No. 7

The lush string sonorities and shifting harmonies reflect the dreaminess of a lonely lover in Voyage by the celebrated Academy Award-winning composer John Corigliano. Bruch's Violin Concerto in G minor is one of the most popular violin concertos in the repertoire. Beethoven himself reportedly considered his Seventh Symphony as one of his finest works. The piece is known for its powerful rhythmic energy, vitality, and sense of celebration, as well as for the great beauty of the famous second movement.
