Astor Piazzolla: Spring (Primavera Porteña) from The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires
Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, JoAnn Falletta
Tessa Lark, violin

American conductor JoAnn Falletta is one of the world’s top conductors. No matter what music she conducts, she seems to channel the composer’s intentions with aplomb. This evening she conducts her Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra in a performance of Astor Piazzolla’s Spring (Primavera Porteña) from The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires. This CD was released earlier this year on the Beau Fleuve Records label.

Franz Liszt: Three Sonnets of Petrarch from Years of Pilgrimage: The Second Year — Italy
Benjamin Grosvenor, piano

From his CD on the Decca Classics label brilliant young British pianist Benjamin Grosvenor plays Three Sonnets of Petrarch from Years of Pilgrimage: The Second Year — Italy. Describing these monumental piano pieces, Liszt himself explains his rational for composing them: ” I have tried to portray in music a few of my strongest sensations and most lively impressions.”
