About
The sound waves of Radiant Circles, the youthful effervescence and powerful lyricism of Rachmaninoff, one of the most beloved symphonies of the Romantic repertoire: a program with a thousand reflections.
Radiant Circles, by composer Augusta Read Thomas, begins in a suspended, crystalline atmosphere, the music transforming into swirling spirals, to culminate in an energetic fanfare. A work by a musician barely 18 years old, still a student at the Conservatory, Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 1 – his Opus 1 – remains one of his most endearing scores. It culminates in the monumental soloist cadence of its first movement. The 1883 premiere of Symphony No. 3 was the occasion of one of Brahms' greatest triumphs: "the tributes to the composer reached a degree of enthusiasm almost never equaled before in Vienna," wrote his biographer Max Kalbeck. Clara Schumann was its fervent admirer: "What a work, what poetry!"
