Who says you can’t dance to symphonic music when you’ve got the famous tunes from West Side Story … and more? Rachmaninoff’s Symphonic Dances is orchestrated to perfection with rhythmic vivacity and lush melodies. Barber creates suspense with Medea’s contemplation, increasing in intensity until finally unleashing the fury of a woman scorned.
