With music derived from Barber's first work for the theatre, the programme opens with Medea's Meditation and Dance of Vengeance, an unsettling journey from an uneasy tenderness to full-blown anguish. Copland's Third Symphony, which re-visits, in its affirmatory Finale, his "Fanfare for the Common Man" ends the programme. Between these two pieces Freddy Kempf joins the orchestra for a work full of American spirit, Gershwin's Piano Concerto.
