Alan Heatherington, conductor

Bach

Toccata and Fugue in d minor

Schuman

New England Triptych

Rachmaninoff

Symphony 2 in e minor

Bach - Schuman - Rachmaninoff

What’s not to love: one of the signature works from “Fantasia” in Stokowski’s own transcription; a work that celebrates music from America’s colonial days; and one of the most ravishingly beautiful symphonies ever written, from the pen of a composer far better known for his equally lush piano concertos.
