Karina Canellakis takes on feats of musical storytelling in this visionary program. Excerpts from Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde capture a passion more powerful than death itself; Scriabin’s symphonic Poem of Ecstasy intoxicates listeners with a whirlwind of color and perfume.

Alban Gerhardt writes that Dvořák’s famous Cello Concerto showcases his instrument “at its best, as the melodic, sensual instrument it is, with a beautiful human voice which can whisper, cry, long—but also become angry and scream or threaten” with “fireworks and impressive passages.”
