That’s how Sergei Prokofiev described his Second Symphony, and it’s right on the nail – this is music from the machine age, forged in the furnace of revolution. For an artist as adventurous as LPO Conductor Emeritus Vladimir Jurowski, it’s an irresistible challenge, as well as a gripping counterpart to Ukrainian composer Anna Korsun’s all-too-contemporary study of an industrial landscape shattered by war. Expect nature music with a serious bite – but poetry, too, as pianist Anna Vinnitskaya embraces both the danger and the romance of Rachmaninov’s glittering Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini.

It's opening weekend! Maestro Nathalie Stutzmann takes the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra on a sonic roller-coaster ride, featuring music by the ever-popular Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. The orchestra swings from ravishing melodies in the strings to thundering salvos of brass and percussion to kick the season off on a high note. The ASO also welcomes the debut of harpist Xavier de Maistre, “a virtuoso of the highest order” (Gramophone). Among the foremost harpists in the world, Xavier de Maistre plays the recently discovered showpiece by Alexander Mosolov, his 1939 Harp Concerto.
