Kansas City Symphony: Elgar's Enigma Variations, Plus Ravel March 25, 2011

Guest conductor Larry Rachleff leads the Symphony in this colorful program beginning with Berlioz's flashy overture with its dazzling orchestration and vivid imagery. Argentine pianist and rising star Ingrid Fliter performs Ravel's sophisticated G Major Concerto with its brilliantly percussive passages and melodies with more than a hint of a jazz inflection.
