Episode 12: Rachmaninoff Symphonic Dances

Join conductor and host Joshua Weilerstein as he takes you through Rachmaninoff's last work and his greatest masterpiece, the Symphonic Dances.  Written in 1940, the music reflects a world at war and marks a completely stylistic change for the famously romantic composer.  We will dig inside the music, exploring the story behind the music, and of course, the music itself.  Enjoy!
