Highlight
Glenn Dicterow, concertmaster of the New York Philharmonic from 1980 to 2014, partners with his wife, violist Karen Dreyfus, in American master William McKinley’s Concert Variations (1993), which the couple had recorded. This performance pays tribute to McKinley, who passed away at age 77 on 3 February 2015. Conductor Perry So makes his GSO debut adding two contrasting works from 1907 written under markedly different circumstances: Bartók’s Violin Concerto No.1 and Rachmaninoff’s Symphony No.2.
