"Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov have always been staple fare of the FSO – and deservedly so, since these two composers have penned some of the most heartfelt and passionate music ever.  Here are two major works of theirs which, unaccountably, are not particularly known to both orchestras and audiences alike; but they show every bit the inspiration and mastery of their better known cousins 'Romeo and Juliet' and 'Symphony No. 2.'  Philippe Bianconi is both a beautiful pianist and profound interpreter who I am honored to work with again and who I am eager to introduce to the Fairfax audience." - Christopher Zimmerman
