Music Appreciation For The Rest Of Us: Andrew Constantine Podcasts On Great Symphonic Masterworks

Two of the most popular Romantic works in the repertoire are featured in this podcast. There is much more beyond the melodies as you learn more about the thrilling history of each masterwork. Did you know that Rachmaninoff suffered from severe depression and was cured by the help of an early psychotherapist? Or that the First Piano Concerto by Tchaikovsky, an instantly recognizable favorite, was initially panned by the critics? Andrew Constantine is joined in this discussion by RSO Concertmaster Christopher Lee, with Mike Faust as moderator. The works discussed on this podcast will be performed by the RSO on Saturday, October 7.
