Piano superstar Daniil Trifonov joins the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and music director Nathalie Stutzmann for the formidable Piano Concerto No. 2 by Johannes Brahms, a piece that is as sunny to the ear as it is fiendish for the pianist. With fistfuls of notes and a hint of Hungarian folk song, this winning concerto remains a concert-hall favorite. Also on the program, Maestro Stutzmann brings out a rarity for the orchestral music world, part of a collection of laments by the Elizabethan composer John Dowland. The evening concludes with the frolicking and exuberant Symphony No. 2 by Robert Schumann.
