    A landmark piano composition, performed by Guest Artist Ralph Votapek, marks the start of the FSO's second concert. Immediately popular, it has become one of Rachmaninoff's most popular concerti of all time. The stirring and majestic themes wind themselves throughout the work, coming back at the end in an ecstatic close. The second half of the concert features an incredible feat of symphonic synthesis: Lorin Maazel's 50 minute distillation of Richard Wagner's epic 17-hour, four-opera marathon cycle of "The Ring of the Nieblung," In spite of it's abbreviated form, this towering piece still provides a dramatic depiction of the struggles of Norse gods, heroes and mythical creatures.
