Season Finale: Rachmaninoff and the Pines of Rome
Sun Valley Pavilion 300 Dollar Rd, Sun ValleyThe Music Festivalās 40th Anniversary Season concludes with two blockbusters of the classical repertoire. Garrick Ohlsson handles the Herculean piano role in Rachmaninoffās Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini. At times nearly thundering and demonic, at other times sweetly lyrical and romantic, many consider this Rachmaninoffās finest work for piano and orchestra. Itās hard to imagine any piece following it, but Respighiās Pines of Rome is up to the challenge. Taking us along a geographic tour of Rome, the piece concludes with a triumphant Roman legion marching home along the Appian Way. The Pavilion will tremble under the audienceās feet!
