“[Vaughan Williams’ 4th Symphony] is a masterpiece of the highest order—a work that shows Vaughan Williams’ versatility as a composer, as well as his ability to create drama and musical tension” writes our friend Scott Chamberlain.
He continues, “Sir William Walton remarked that it was ‘the greatest symphony since Beethoven’. While [his] previous works were beguiling, the Fourth is aggressive. Earlier works were often painted in pastels, but the Fourth is a work of primary colors. It is craggy with dissonance and sharp angles. And for those who love Vaughan Williams’s romanticism, this powerful work comes as a bit of a shock.”

Then hear what he is talking about this Friday and Saturday night when our MN Orchestra plays this masterpiece under the direction of Andrew Litton!

This weekend’s program also includes the phenomenal Natasha Paremski performing Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1 and Rimsky-Korsakov’s Suite from “The Snow Maiden.”
