A rollercoaster of pianistic flourishes, Rachmaninoff’s ravishing rhapsody is given a tour-de-force performance by soloist Simon Trpčeski. Dvořák’s distinctly Bohemian style shines in his brooding, mysterious Seventh Symphony, in which the composer gives voice to personal grief and the struggles of his nation.
